Nestor Lopez has become chief technology officer at Bermudian-based global specialty insurer SiriusPoint.

Mr Lopez was most recently chief Information officer, and replaces Darryl Siry, who will be leaving the firm at the end of next month.

Mr Lopez takes on leadership of the information technology team, reporting to chief executive officer Scott Egan. Mr Lopez is now responsible for building out SiriusPoint’s data capabilities, as well as developing and maintaining a scalable operating platform for the company.

“The quality and accessibility of our data is central to SiriusPoint’s strategy and best-in-class aspirations,” Mr Egan said. “I look forward to continuing to work with Nestor as we further develop our data and tech capabilities. It is a pleasure to announce his promotion and to recognise the talent we have at SiriusPoint.”
