Sompo International taps ex-AIG for key global markets role

Bermuda-based specialty property and casualty re/insurer  Sompo International has appointed a risk control specialist to lead its global market activities in support of new business growth, managing loss exposure, and driving overall profitability in the business.

Renata Barcellos (pictured) has been appointed as head of risk control services, global markets insurance business. Barcellos will have oversight of all risk control teams and activities across Sompo International’s global markets’ business and suite of products.

She will be based in Sompo International’s new Madrid office, and report to Adam Bergen, senior vice president, head of client management, global markets.

Barcellos has nearly 25 years of risk control insurance experience spanning products and geographies. Most recently, she served as Sompo International’s head of risk control services, Latin America, where she was responsible for growing and leading a team of risk control experts in Mexico that was focused on client services and underwriting profitability, as well as managing the Asian client risk control portfolio.

Barcellos has held senior risk control and technical positions with global insurers, including AIG, Chubb, FM Global, building teams and risk control capabilities. She worked for almost six years at AIG before joining Sompo in 2021.

Bergen said: “Renata’s depth of experience across product lines, coupled with her strong leadership skills and ability to establish clear strategic direction in culturally different environments, will be an asset as we continue to build out Global Markets’ risk control team and offerings. Her adeptness at working with underwriters and clients to integrate risk control techniques and identify ways to improve and differentiate their business operations further reinforces Sompo International’s commitment to the markets we serve.”
