Compre Group Holdings, the Bermuda-domiciled international specialty reinsurance group, appoints Graham Taylor as managing director of underwriting, effective immediately.
Reporting to chief underwriting officer Rachel Bardon, Taylor leads the group's retrospective reinsurance activities, overseeing the execution of new transactions across the portfolio. He joins David Quinn and Zameer Mitha in Compre's senior underwriting leadership team.
Taylor brings more than 20 years of legacy and transactional experience. He joins from Catalina Re where, as head of M&A, he drove global expansion and subsequent restructuring, completing corporate transactions and reinsurance deals including acquisitions and disposals. Before that, Taylor spent nearly 15 years with Enstar Group, most recently as senior vice president, M&A, leading transactions globally.
Bardon says: "We are delighted to welcome Graham to Compre. He brings a strong track record in deal origination and execution, which will be invaluable as we continue to grow our underwriting platform and broader proposition. Graham's extensive experience and commercial acumen will further strengthen our ability to deliver high-quality solutions for our clients."
Taylor says: "I am extremely pleased to join Compre, with its long history of innovation and at such an exciting time in the company's development. While focused on retrospective business, traditional legacy transactions, I will also support Compre's work in meeting demand for capital-optimisation-focused reinsurance solutions and very much look forward to working with Rachel and the team."
