SiriusPoint Ltd, the Bermudian-headquartered global specialty insurer and reinsurer, has appointed Chris Fenn as head of Marine, London and John Hopper as head of Energy.

Victoria Hopgood has also been announced as senior underwriter, Energy.

The company said the appointments sharpen its focus on the strategic growth of its Marine and Energy business lines, and strengthen its teams across the international business, including Lloyd’s Syndicate 1945.

Mr Fenn, who has more than 25 years’ experience in marine and energy insurance, will be responsible for helping to shape the Marine group’s strategy and developing SiriusPoint’s marine portfolio in London and internationally.

He will be based in London and report to Steve Smyth, head of Marine, International, and active underwriter for Syndicate 1945, subject to Lloyd’s approval. Mr Smyth was appointed to SiriusPoint last September.

With more than 30 years’ experience in marine, offshore and renewable energy underwriting, Mr Hopper will lead SiriusPoint’s Energy team, and will be responsible for maintaining and growing the London and international Energy book.

He will be based in London and report to Robert Harman, general manager SiriusPoint London Branch, and CEO and managing director, Sirius International Managing Agency.
