Arch rejigs Canadian C-suite, lifts insiders in boardroom remake

Re/insurer Arch has lifted three insiders in a major rejig of the C-suite for its Canadian unit, pushing long-standing talent up single rungs on the ladder.

Jean-Pierre Galipeault was promoted to president of Arch Insurance Canada and retains the title of chief regional executive he has held since 2019 after having joined Arch in 2013 in the warranty and lender solutions group.

John Moller has been promoted to chief underwriting officer with executive responsibility for all business units. Moller has led Arch Insurance Canada’s executive assurance and professional liability underwriting units since 2018 and the P&C underwriting unit since 2021.

Emily Crewe has been promoted to chief operating officer in addition to her existing role as chief financial officer, which she has held since 2019.

Arch’s chief strategy officer for North America Mark Lange commented: “Since becoming Chief Regional Executive in 2019, JP has demonstrated tremendous leadership for our Canada franchise. His strong product knowledge, diligent underwriting management and excellent distribution relationships have meaningfully helped Arch Insurance Canada’s recent success. As President, JP will be able to make even broader contributions to Arch.”

Galipeault added: “I’m excited for the opportunity to lead our Canadian team. Going forward, we will remain committed to working collaboratively with our brokers and other partners as we build trusting, respectful and responsive relationships that will fuel Arch’s success.”
