Canopius

The appointment is the third major hire since management closed a Centerbridge-backed $952mn buyout from Sompo.

Yann Marmonier and Paul Hackett are to join the Lloyd's carrier as part of an Asian expansion push.

Canopius will look to expand the Asia Pacific portion of its portfolio over the next five years as part of its post-management buyout (MBO) strategy, according to executive chairman Michael Watson.
