Apollo, a Skyward Group company, the innovation-inspired insurance platform, announces the launch of its new international casualty reinsurance class of business, further broadening its portfolio and enhancing its capability to deliver innovative solutions for complex global risks. This strategic expansion introduces a low-volatility portfolio that offers access to new markets, while solving complex challenges for both new and existing clients, and reinforces Apollo’s disciplined approach to building scalable long-term value creation.
Tim Mackenzie will join in October this year to lead the class, bringing more than 20 years of ex-tensive expertise across international markets and casualty lines, most recently at Berkley Re.
Paul Sandi, Head of Reinsurance at Apollo, commented:
“Tim’s exceptional reputation and well-established relationships will build on the division’s successful 2025, as we begin underwriting the class from 1st January 2027. His appointment underscores our commitment to attracting top-tier talent capable of driving success in emerging opportunities.”
James Slaughter, Chief Underwriting Officer at Apollo, said:
“The introduction of international casualty reinsurance reinforces our position as a forward-thinking reinsurer dedicated to supporting diverse client needs. This class not only enhances portfolio stability but strengthens our ability to deliver market-leading returns through thoughtful diversification and disciplined execution.”
