Compre Group Holdings Limited (“Compre”), the Bermuda-domiciled international specialty reinsurance group, today announces the appointment of Graham Taylor as managing director of underwriting, effective immediately.
Reporting to Chief Underwriting Officer Rachel Bardon, Taylor will play a key role in leading the Group’s retrospective reinsurance activities, overseeing the execution of new transactions across the portfolio.
Graham joins David Quinn and Zameer Mitha as part of Compre’s senior underwriting leadership team, further strengthening the Group’s capability across its capital solutions platform.
Taylor brings more than 20 years of legacy and transactional experience to Compre. He joins from Catalina Re where, as head of M&A, he was instrumental in driving its global expansion and subsequent restructuring, completing major corporate transactions and reinsurance deals, including high-value acquisitions and disposals. Prior to this, Taylor spent nearly 15 years with Enstar Group, most recently as senior vice president, M&A, successfully leading a variety of transactions globally, supporting the company’s strategic growth agenda.
Bardon said: “We are delighted to welcome Graham to Compre. He brings a strong track record in deal origination and execution, which will be invaluable as we continue to grow our underwriting platform and broader proposition. Graham’s extensive experience and commercial acumen will further strengthen our ability to deliver high-quality solutions for our clients.”
Taylor said: “I’m extremely pleased to join Compre, with its long history of innovation and at such an exciting time in company’s development. While focused on retrospective business – traditional legacy transactions – I will also support Compre’s work in meeting demand for capital-optimisation-focused reinsurance solutions and very much look forward to working with Rachel and the team.”
