Specialty insurer and reinsurer Convex has announced the promotion of Brian Bissett to Group Chief Finance Officer (CFO) with immediate effect.
Bissett joined Convex at its inception in 2019 as Group Chief Actuary and has more than 30 years of experience in the data and actuarial sector within the re/insurance industry.
Prior to this, he held numerous senior positions at Catlin, XL Catlin and Zurich.
In his new London-based role, Bissett will be responsible for overseeing the Convex finance function, while retaining responsibility for the data and the actuarial teams.
He takes over the position from Benji Meuli, who will be stepping aside to become Chief Investment Officer (CIO) as part of a planned transition of roles.
Paul Brand said: “Brian has been instrumental in not only building and leading Convex’s successful actuarial and claims functions but in orchestrating Convex’s data agenda,” said Paul Brand, CEO of Convex.
“His exceptional actuarial and leadership capabilities make his promotion to CFO a natural and well-deserved step. With his financial acumen and sterling reputation, Brian exemplifies the high standards that Convex practices and I am confident he will continue to make a positive and lasting impact on Convex’s future successes,” Brand continued.
“I would like to thank Benji for his outstanding work and his contribution to Convex’s growth,” he added. “I am delighted that we will still benefit from his extensive expertise in his new role of CIO.”
