Third Point Re CEO Bredahl joins TigerRisk as president & COO

Third Point Re chief executive Robert Bredahl has joined reinsurance broking and risk/capital management firm TigerRisk as president, chief operating officer (COO) and member of its board.

Bredahl recently resigned from the Bermuda-based reinsurer Third Point Re. He was a co-founder of the firm in 2012 and held roles including chief underwriting officer, chief operating officer and chief financial officer prior to becoming CEO and president.

Prior to joining Third Point, Bredahl was chief executive officer of Aon Benfield Securities, Aon’s Investment Banking Group, as well as president of the Americas division of Aon Benfield.

Bredahl will join TigerRisk in the middle of June and will be headquartered at the company's New York office.

He replaces Tony Ursano as the president, who departed from the broker in May.

TigerRisk CEO Rod Fox said: “TigerRisk has achieved its remarkable growth by challenging the status quo. We are excited to have Rob join our team. He is a sophisticated operator and is at the forefront of the intersection of risk and capital.”

Bredahl commented: “No broker/advisor is better positioned to navigate the ever-evolving market and develop new ways to match risk and capital. As the reinsurance broker market continues to consolidate, insurers, reinsurers and investors want financially sophisticated alternatives to the few mega brokers.

"I look forward to deploying TigerRisk’s excellent reinsurance, investment banking and advisory experts for the benefit of clients. TigerRisk has built a great firm with a great culture – I am excited to be a part of it.”
