Sompo International taps loss control leader from QBE

Bermuda-based re/insurer Sompo International has appointed Victor Sordillo as senior vice president and loss control leader.

The company plans to evolve its loss control capabilities under Sordillo’s leadership into a service that will support the entire Sompo International insurance platform, it said in a statement.

In his new role, Sordillo will be responsible for directing the loss control team, initially working primarily with global risk solutions’ underwriting teams to deliver risk management services to middle market and large account clients in the real estate, hospitality, financial institutions and professional services industries.

Based in the company’s New York City office, Sordillo will report to the CEO of Sompo global risk solutions Michael Chang.

Sordillo joins the company from QBE, where he served as senior vice president, loss control. Prior to QBE, he spent 30 years at the Chubb Group, where he held a series of risk management roles of increasing responsibility.

His most recent role at Chubb was global technical service manager, responsible for property/casualty strategy, overseeing large-loss investigations and claims reviews, and directing global safety and security engineering services.

Sordillo's previous roles included responsibility for loss control operations for the US East Coast, Canada and Latin America. He also led the development of company-wide technical guidelines to drive profitable underwriting decisions.

"As we continue to build our Global Risk Solutions business, we are extremely excited to attract a loss control leader of Vic’s caliber," Chang commented. "Delivery of world class loss control services is a key tenet of our white glove approach to servicing each and every account. We are committed to not only insuring our clients against loss, but working closely with them to reduce loss experience and identify ways to improve and differentiate their business operations."

Jack Kuhn, CEO of global insurance, added: "With a long and proven track record delivering risk management best practices to middle market and large accounts, I am very pleased to have Vic join our insurance leadership. Over time, Vic will be responsible for establishing a global loss control team that will offer enhanced capabilities to clients across our insurance business."
