Acrisure Re, the reinsurance division of global fintech leader Acrisure, has made Peter Sharpe the new head of the London-based specialty reinsurance team, effective Monday.

Mr Sharpe will report to David Sowrey, managing director of Acrisure Re’s international treaty business, and focus on driving the growth and development of the international property and specialty reinsurance portfolio.
