Sompo Canopius Re hires former Swiss Re and Munich Re exec

Sompo Canopius Re has appointed Christopher Gray as the head of protection and indemnity (P&I) reinsurance, effective immediately.

Gray, who joins from Swiss Re, will report to the global head of marine treaty Andy Gladwin.

In his new role, Gray will be tasked to developing Sompo Canopius Re's marine and specialty treaty market portfolio that adds diversification and complements the account already written.

Gray most recently headed the marine treaty team in London at Swiss Re. Prior to that, he served as a marine underwriter focused on P&I at Munich Re, and an underwriter for Zeller and Associates in Hamburg.

Gladwin said: "Chris is a respected leader in the marine P&I market with a fantastic track record and many solid relationships that he has built over time. Attracting someone of Chris' calibre shows that Sompo Canopius Re continues to be one of the most effective and attractive operators in the market and demonstrates our commitment to delivering an even better service for brokers and clients."
