Presley, who will also join Compre’s executive committee, will join Compre at the end of April and be based in Kansas City, Missouri reporting to Group Chief Executive Officer, Will Bridger.
With responsibility for Compre’s business development activities in North America, Presley will work closely with the existing team including those that joined Compre from SiriusPoint Global Solutions to drive transaction growth.
