Canopius Group, the international specialist property and casualty (P&C) re/insurer, has announced the appointment of Steve Parry as Group Chief Claims Officer, effective August 2026.
Parry will join the Canopius Group leadership team and report to Canopius Group CEO Neil Robertson.
He brings extensive global experience, including leading complex multi-region claims operations, as well as a proven track record of transformational governance and operating model change.
Parry joins Canopius from Hiscox where he was Group Claims Director. He also held senior claims leadership positions at AIG and ACE/Chubb.
Canopius said the appointment further strengthens its executive leadership as the company continues to expand its international platform and embed advocacy at the core of its proposition.
Robertson said: “Claims are the foundation of our proposition at Canopius – it’s where our expertise is put to the test, our commitments are delivered and our culture is best seen by clients and brokers.
“As we continue to grow across all four regions, it is critical that our claims capabilities are forward-looking, customer-centric, increasingly AI-enabled and fully integrated into the way we underwrite, manage risk and deploy capital.
“Steve brings exceptional global experience, clear strategic thinking and deep technical expertise; his appointment reinforces our commitment to building a claims function that supports sustainable, long-term growth.”
Parry commented: “I’m delighted to be joining Canopius at a time of such strong momentum. The opportunity to leverage its powerful global platform, apply claims insights across geographies and play a key core role in shaping how the business grows is incredible.”
“I look forward to working with colleagues across the group to strengthen the claims function, serve customers and support the wider strategy.”
