OdysseyRe reveals leadership changes in Latin America

Odyssey Reinsurance Company (OdysseyRe) has made leadership changes in its Latin America division, as Andrew Dickson moves to a new role at Hudson Insurance Group.

Alberto Marcano has been appointed as senior vice president and chief underwriting officer for treaty in its Latin America division. He replaces Dickson, who has been named head of surety for Hudson, Odyssey Group’s US insurance division.

Additionally, Andrew Grey, assistant vice president and senior surety underwriter for OdysseyRe’s North America Division, will assume the additional role of head of surety for its Latin America division.

Marcano has over 30 years of re/insurance experience in the Latin America market. He joined OdysseyRe in 2011 as vice president and senior treaty underwriter. His underwriting responsibilities included all lines of business and most recently, he focused on clients in the Caribbean and Colombia. Prior to this, Marcano’s territorial focus included Mexico, Chile and Argentina. He is based in Miami and will report to Philippe Mallier, OdysseyRe CEO Latin America.

Grey has 10 years of experience in the re/insurance industry, majority of which were focused on surety underwriting, both primary and treaty. He joined OdysseyRe in 2016 and is based in Miami. Grey will now report to Marcano on Latin America business and will continue reporting to Michael Fleming, senior vice president of OdysseyRe, for North America surety business.

“No one understands our culture and value proposition to our business partners in Latin America and the Caribbean better than members of our own team,” said Philippe Mallier, CEO of OdysseyRe’s Latin America division. “These changes clearly demonstrate our preferred approach to promote from within and I am confident that Alberto and Andrew will be successful in their respective leadership positions.”
