Ascot has appointed Bruce Sikorski to the position of group head of corporate services.

Mr Sikorski will report to Bill Thygeson, group chief human resources officer.

In this newly created role, he will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of Ascot’s global facilities, ensuring optimal functionality, safety, sustainability and consistency across sites.

He will also have oversight of Ascot’s global travel programme and corporate vendor relationships.

“As we continue to add talent and expand our presence across the ‘golden triangle’ of global specialty insurance – the US, UK and Bermuda – Bruce’s proven experience managing large, complex facilities and leading global teams will be invaluable to our continued operational success,” said Mr Thygeson.

Ascot said Mr Sikorski has nearly 25 years of experience in global facilities management, having most recently spent nearly two decades at Everest, where he was responsible for the global real estate of more than 30 offices across four continents.

He will be based in the company’s Iselin, New Jersey office.
