SCOR mines MS Amlin C-suite for UK & Lloyd’s leadership

Global reinsurance group  SCOR has mined the C-suites of MS Amlin for a leader of its UK operations and Lloyd’s syndicate.

Chris Beazley, the CEO of MS Amlin AG in Zurich, will step in as CEO of SCOR UK and the SCOR Syndicate to replace Stuart McMurdo, who went on to be SCOR’s CEO of Reinsurance following announcement that Michel Blanc will retire from that post.

Beazley has spent twelve years at MS Amlin across two stints interrupted by a post as CEO of the London Market Group. At MS Amlin, Beazley did two years in Marine and five in reinsurance before coming back for the C-suite post.

Deputy CEO of SCOR P&C, Romain Launay, commented: “Our UK platform has historically been and will continue to be at the heart of SCOR Specialty Insurance. With SCOR UK and the SCOR Syndicate, our teams can deploy their proven underwriting skills, both on the company market and at Lloyd’s, to optimally serve our clients. I would like to extend my thanks to them and to Stuart McMurdo for their success during his tenure. Chris is a recognized leader, and we all look forward to writing a new chapter with him.”

SCOR’s regional CEO of EMEA and Canada for P&C business Catherine Fassi commented: “It is with great pleasure that we welcome Chris on board. He is a highly experienced insurance and reinsurance professional with an in-depth knowledge of our market, which makes him the ideal person for the role.”
