Specialist insurance intermediary, New Dawn Risk Group, has appointed Manuel Sicard to lead the company’s expansion into Latin America.
Prior to joining New Dawn Risk, Sicard was vice-president, financial lines at reinsurance broker Guy Carpenter. He previously held a similar role at Willis Towers Watson (WTW) in London.
Earlier in his career he worked in Colombia as a reinsurance analyst for Allianz and a risk consultant at RE Ingenieria.
Max Carter, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of New Dawn Risk, said: “Latin America is a dynamic and developing region that is experiencing growing demand for increasingly complex insurance products, translating into a broad range of opportunities for international reinsurers.
“Given that this is relatively uncharted territory for some, cedants and reinsurers alike need to know their broker can provide local specialist knowledge of the markets they are operating in.
“Manuel’s depth of experience in the region – spanning underwriting, broking and risk management – combined with the strength of the relationships he has built up over more than two decades working in the industry, means we are now able to offer clients a more engaging and valuable proposition in Latin America.”
