Patria Re boosts Lloyd's Syndicate with Berkley Re hire

Latin American reinsurer Patria Re has hired Nick Benardout to manage its Syndicate 6125.

Benardout joins Patria Re from Berkley Re UK, where he served as the head of property treaty business for nearly six years. He left Berkley Re in April this year.

Prior to joining Berkley Re in 2011, Benardout was the international property treaty underwriter at Chaucer Syndicates.

In his new role, Benardout will manage the reinsurer's London office taking responsibility for strengthening its corporate structure and consolidating business underwritten from the Lloyd's vehicle, the company said.

"We are delighted to announce that, as of Monday June 12th, Nick Benardout, will join our SPA PAT6125," said Ingrid Carlou, managing director of Patria Re. "Nick has an extensive experience in the reinsurance industry, particularly in property treaties as an underwriter and team leader."
