SCOR nabs AIG veteran for US P&C CEO job replacing Jenkins

Global reinsurer  SCOR has hired a 15-year AIG veteran to serve as its new US property and casualty (P&C) chief executive officer (CEO) as it looks to expand its specialty insurance footprint globally.

Nicolas Berg (pictured) replaces John Jenkins who has moved to a senior underwriting role within the company.

Both executives assumed their new roles in April, with Jenkins taking up the position of senior vice president underwriting management in the US. He has been with SCOR for almost 15 years and was appointed CEO, US P&C in May 2019.

Berg comes from American International Group (AIG), where he most recently served as global head of claims performance, which is equivalent to global claims COO, according to his LinkedIn. Prior to that, he was North America chief claims officer, having previously been head of AIG’s financial lines and liability underwriting divisions for UK and Europe. Earlier in his career, Berg also worked at Starr Insurance in France and SCOR in New York.

In his new role, Berg will oversee all US-based P&C activities of SCOR across both specialty insurance and reinsurance and will have a key role to play in helping to expand its specialty insurance footprint globally.

“I look forward to working closely with all the teams at SCOR at such an important time for our industry and to further increasing the positive impact we have for our clients, brokers and all our stakeholders,” Berg stated on a LinkedIn post.
