Canopius launches division with Delta Lloyd hires
Canopius Group, the specialty re/insurance platform of Sompo, has launched a renewable energy division.
The new team, which joins from Delta Lloyd, will be led by Maarten Mulder, head of renewable energy.
The division will comprise a team of five specialists and will be based in Amsterdam. They will report to Steve Warren, head of energy at Canopius in London, and to Jimmy Guman, managing director of Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Nederland.
Initially focusing on offshore wind renewable energy risks, the team will comprise Eric Helsloot as lead underwriter, Martijn Meijboom as senior underwriter, Arnout Bijl as underwriter and Bart Leijssen as engineer. The team will underwrite jointly for Canopius and Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Insurance Company of Europe Limited.
Warren said: “Renewable energy is a growing area requiring specialist insurance and I am delighted that this highly skilled and experienced team have joined Canopius to expand our energy product range. Their collective knowledge, expertise and impressive reputation will allow us to offer a compelling proposition for the renewable energy market. I look forward to working with them and the part they will play in Canopius’s ongoing development.”
Guman said: “The demand for specialty insurance products from the European renewable energy market is a growth area which demands high calibre talent and expertise. We look forward to supporting Maarten and his team as they develop their ambitions in Europe and beyond.”
