In a career spanning more than 40 years, Mr Bradley joined the board of Argo Group in 2018 and was appointed chairman in 2020.

Prior to his time with Argo, he served as the CFO and EVP of Allied World Assurance Company Holdings AG, a global provider of insurance and reinsurance solutions, from 2012 until 2017.
