Canopius nabs QBE’s transformation leader to ‘future-proof’ business

Global specialty re/insurer  Canopius Group has tapped  QBE’s business transformation leader to “future-proof” its expanding business with a focus on sustainable growth.

Tracey Corrigan (pictured) has been appointed to the role of group head of change.

With overall responsibility for the group wide change portfolio, programme & project management delivery and operational excellence capability, Corrigan will be instrumental in driving Canopius’ long-term strategic aims across all geographies. Strengthening the operating model and measuring the impact of change will be further key aspects of Corrigan’s role. She will be based in London and report to group COO Kate Roy.

Corrigan has more than 30 years of experience in operations management and business modernisation. She joins from QBE where she held the position of business transformation leader. Prior to this she was at AIG, where since 1992 she held several key positions, most recently commercial operations executive.

Roy said: “With substantial growth opportunities groupwide and with many change projects needed to capitalise on that, it is key to expand our operational leadership capability to oversee the entire process of how we change as a business. Tracey’s international experience as a transformation leader, combined with a proven track record of successfully developing and executing operational strategies globally and regionally made her the ideal candidate. I look forward to working with her to facilitate the changes necessary to continually realise our strategic ambitions, both now and for the future.”

Corrigan commented: “Canopius has changed significantly in recent years and, with further expansion afoot, I am delighted to join at such an exciting time. Building strong relationships with stakeholders, managing spend, measuring impact and robust strategic oversight are all critical to successful outcomes. I look forward to working with the team to help bring the changes necessary for Canopius to realise its considerable potential.”
