RiverStone International has appointed Charlotte Pritchard as its new UK chief executive officer, effective January 5, subject to regulatory approval.
Pritchard will take over from Andrew Creed, who will assume the role of group president on the same date while continuing to serve as group chief financial officer.
With more than 16 years’ experience in financial services, Pritchard has spent the past eight years with RiverStone International. She most recently held the position of group risk and compliance director, where she led risk and compliance operations across five territories and managed cross-border teams.
Her promotion comes as the legacy specialist continues to expand its presence across key markets. Since 2010, RiverStone International has completed 47 transactions, acquiring US$17.7 billion in gross liabilities. In 2024, the business reported US$300 million in adjusted profit before tax and delivered a 19.1% return on opening adjusted tangible book value.
That momentum has carried into 2025, marked by a reinsurance-to-close agreement with Asta Managing Agency. The deal transfers the 2022 year of account for Hampden Risk Partners Syndicate 2689 into RiverStone International Syndicate 3500 at Lloyd’s. The transaction strengthens the firm’s “intelligent follow” strategy within the Lloyd’s market and adds to its UK-managed legacy portfolios—an area that will fall within Pritchard’s remit.
The UK leadership change is part of a broader senior management transition at RiverStone International. Paul Brockman is set to become group CEO following the planned retirement of current chief executive Luke Tanzer, who steps down after 16 years with the organisation.
Brockman brings more than 30 years of experience in the legacy insurance market across the US, London, Bermuda and other global hubs. He is expected to work closely with Creed and Pritchard as the group continues to pursue further legacy portfolio transactions.
