SiriusPoint Ltd, the Bermudian-headquartered global specialty insurer and reinsurer, has appointed James Anderson as global chief pricing actuary, effective on May 12.

Based in London, Mr Anderson will report to Anthony Shapella, group chief underwriting officer, and Justin Brenden, chief actuary.

The company said he will lead the global actuarial pricing team and deliver a best-in-class pricing framework, business insights, and advanced portfolio analytics. He will also collaborate closely with the company’s information technology department to deploy standardised pricing infrastructure across the business.

Mr Anderson has more than 20 years of actuarial experience, joining SiriusPoint from EY, where he was a partner with responsibility for advising London Market companies on their pricing and portfolio management strategies.

Mr Shapella said: “James has a proven track record of building and leading actuarial teams, and specialty lines expertise on a global scale. We are extremely pleased to welcome him to the team.

“We remain focused on hiring the best talent in the industry and believe James’s leadership will be pivotal in enabling SiriusPoint to develop best-in-class pricing and sustainable financial outcomes for our clients.”

Mr Anderson’s appointment follows the recent addition of Helen Cahill, who joined SiriusPoint’s London office as head of international pricing and business planning.

Mrs Cahill joined from Apollo, where she was most recently head of pricing; before that, she led actuarial teams at Allianz.

She leads SiriusPoint International’s pricing team and will report to Mr Anderson.
