SCOR is pleased to announce the arrival of Chris Beazley as CEO of SCOR UK and the SCOR Syndicate, effective 20 September 2022, subject to regulatory approval. 

He takes over the role from Stuart McMurdo, who was appointed as CEO of Reinsurance following the announcement in June that Michel Blanc will retire with effect from January 2023.

Based in London, Beazley will report to Catherine Fassi, Regional CEO of EMEA and Canada for P&C business.

Beazley brings more than 20 years of experience to his new role, having worked for underwriting and broking firms in the UK, Switzerland, Singapore and the US.

Romain Launay, CEO Specialty Insurance and Deputy CEO SCOR P&C, comments: “Our UK platform has historically been and will continue to be at the heart of SCOR Specialty Insurance.

”With SCOR UK and the SCOR Syndicate, our teams can deploy their proven underwriting skills, both on the company market and at Lloyd’s, to optimally serve our clients.

“I would like to extend my thanks to them and to Stuart McMurdo for their success during his tenure. Chris is a recognised leader, and we all look forward to writing a new chapter with him.”
