IGI appoints head of investor relations to deliver new strategy

Global specialist commercial re/insurer International General Insurance Holdings (IGI) has appointed Robin Sidders as head of investor relations.

Sidders will be based in London and will take up her post on Monday, January 13, 2020. She will work closely with the executive team, senior management, and the board of directors, to design and lead the company’s investor relations strategy. The strategy will have a particular emphasis on financial communications, corporate access and visibility, and relationships with the investment community. It will also be key to IGI’s transition to a public company framework.

With more than 25 years’ leadership experience in strategic financial communications and investor relations, Sidders served for more than 14 years as director, investor relations at PartnerRe, the global multi-line reinsurer. She helped lead her former firm through significant business, regulatory, and leadership change, culminating in the sale and delisting of PartnerRe.

In October 2019, IGI confirmed it was seeking a US public market listing on the NASDAQ, via its business combination agreement with US-based Tiberius Acquisition Corporation. IGI said: “It is anticipated the listing on to NASDAQ will occur in the first quarter of 2020, subject to the requisite regulatory approvals.”

IGI CEO Wasef Jabsheh said: “We are delighted to bring Robin on board to join the IGI team. IGI is on the brink of an important transition in its evolution, and Robin, with her many years of public company experience and knowledge of the insurance and reinsurance market, will play an important role in this transition.”

Sidders said: “I am thrilled to join IGI and to be part of this journey at such an important time in the company’s evolution.

“Over its 19-year history, IGI has established a unique entrepreneurial culture with a strong team, and I look forward to working with them on moving to an equally successful public company life.”
