Global specialty property and casualty (P&C) re/insurer Canopius has announced the appointment of Mark Houghton as Global Product Leader for Specialty.
With over 20 years of experience in insurance and financial services, Houghton joins Canopius from AXA XL, where he led the political risk team for over a decade before becoming head of specialty in Asia.
Starting in October, Houghton will be responsible for overseeing the governance, performance, and standards of Canopius’ specialty underwriting lines.
“Canopius is known for its collaborative approach, always going the extra mile for its clients and brokers,” added Houghton. “It’s a hugely exciting time to be joining the business, and I look forward to helping cement Canopius’ status as a provider of practical solutions in the world’s leading specialty markets.”
This announcement follows several key hires for Canopius Group this year. Soon Keen Lee was appointed CEO in APAC & MENA, Jesse DeCouto became chief underwriting officer, and Tonia Morgan was named chief financial officer of Canopius Reinsurance Limited.
