Bermuda-based property and casualty re/insurer Sompo International has appointed Richard Brown to lead a new team focusing on property business through retail distribution channels in the UK, Europe and selected international territories including the Middle East and Israel.

Brown most recently served as head of property and marine lines at Generali. He has nearly three decades of UK and international property risk underwriting experience.
