Price Forbes & Partners (Bermuda) Limited today announces the appointment of William Wood as Senior Vice President of its newly created Insurance Management unit.

William is a 27-year veteran of the Bermuda (re)insurance marketplace having served in a variety of disciplines.

He joins after a brief term as Director of Captives and Commercial Insurers at Artex Risk Solutions (Bermuda) Limited and before that was CEO of Charles Taylor’s captives business for six years.  William started his career in captive management before moving to the commercial (re)insurance industry covering a number of roles in capital modelling, rating agency relationship management, accounting, underwriting and claims with XL Capital, Everest Re and Centre Solutions, before taking the position of Treasurer and Controller at Nissan Global Reinsurance Limited.

Price Forbes, part of top 20 global broker and the UK’s largest independent broking platform The Ardonagh Group sees captive management as a natural fit to its reinsurance brokerage business as well as providing a platform for other business opportunities within the wider Ardonagh Group.

As part of this initiative, Price Forbes Bermuda was recently granted an Insurance Managers license by the Bermuda Monetary Authority.

We are delighted to welcome William to build out the insurance management operation for us.  His depth and breadth of experience is just what we need to start a new captive management platform.

President of Price Forbes & Partners (Bermuda) Limited, Nick Foden-Pattinson
