Ageas Re, the reinsurance division of international insurance group Ageas, has hired Jeremy Lilburn, previously of PartnerRe, to co-lead its Credit & Surety practice alongside Sylvie Hirn.
Hirn joined Ageas Re in October of last year from Coface Re SA to lead the Credit & Surety operation.
She will now co-lead the practice alongside Lilburn, which Ageas Re’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Joachim Racz, says is a “strong testament” to the firm’s long-term and strategic commitment to the line of business.
“I am proud that Ageas Re continues to attract recognized industry leaders and to keep writing the next chapters of the Ageas Re Story,” said Racz.
Lilburn joins after almost 26 years with reinsurer PartnerRe, most recently serving as Head of Financial Risks Europe at the company from July 2016 to October 2024.
During his time with PartnerRe, he also served as Global Specialty Head Credit & Surety, Global Specialty Head Agriculture, Executive Client Partner Northern Europe, P&C, and Client Partner United Kingdom & Ireland, P&C.
Prior to PartnerRe, Lilburn spent time with Winterthur Insurance in both Switzerland and Singapore.
