Global specialty re/insurer Canopius has appointed Craig Elliott as casualty underwriter for the Asia Pacific region.
Elliott reports to Claudio Saita, Head of Australia & Pacific, and will be based in the company’s recently established Sydney office.
He joins with over a decade of industry experience, most recently serving as senior casualty underwriter for AXA XL, where he served as senior casualty underwriter.
Elliott previously held similar roles at Allianz Insurance Australia and AIG.
“Craig has come on board to lead Canopius Australia & Pacific’s Casualty insurance practice,” said Saita.
“His experience and innovative approach to writing Public and Products Liability insurance will be hugely beneficial as we continue to expand in Australia and the Pacific region.
“Craig has a proven track record of creating lasting relationships with coverholders and brokers through binder and open market business, which will help us in our ambition to deepen our ties in the region as Australia and New Zealand become ever-more important markets for Lloyd’s underwriters.”
