XL Catlin appoints Anne Middleton to manage ceded reinsurance

XL Catlin has appointed Anne Middleton to manage its ceded reinsurance placements globally, reporting to Mark van Zanden, the chief executive of property/casualty (P&C) underwriting capital management team.

Previously the head of finance for several XL Catlin insurance businesses, Middleton is based in London. In her new role, she will be responsible for overseeing and negotiating the terms, structure and pricing of XL Catlin's reinsurance programmes.

Middleton most recently served as the head of Finance for XL Catlin's global energy, property and construction lines of insurance. Prior to joining Catlin in 2012 as an ERM Capital Actuary, she spent five years with PWC as a senior consultant providing actuarial as well as wider economic and risk analysis.

Zanden said: "Having strong reinsurance protection allows our P&C underwriting businesses to improve existing and develop new products to help our clients address their known, emerging and new business risks.

“Anne will be a supportive partner to our business lines as we look to build reinsurance programs that meet our risk appetites and can help us achieve our underwriting and profitable growth objectives.

"Anne's financial insights and actuarial background, along with her familiarity with many of our business lines, uniquely qualifies her for her new role at XL Catlin. She'll work closely with our business leaders providing them thoughtful analysis and innovative ideas to help them evaluate and reinsure their businesses' risk exposures."
