International specialist property and casualty re/insurer Canopius has announced the appointment of Victoria Baxter as Head of London Property Treaties, with immediate effect.
In this role, Baxter will be responsible for leading the London-based property treaty portfolio, working closely with the Canopius team in Bermuda and across Asia Pacific to ensure consistency across the business.
She was appointed head of US property treaties in 2022, following three years with the team as reinsurance underwriter. Baxter joined Canopius in 2019 following the acquisition of AmTrust and brings more than two decades of underwriting experience in the London market.
Canopius continues to invest in expanding its reinsurance platform, strengthening its presence in London, Bermuda, Singapore and Sydney. The company is pursuing disciplined growth in its treaty business with a focus on building strong positions in markets where it sees long-term opportunities.
Baxter will report to Rachel Webber, who will become head of UK reinsurance in February 2026.
Charles Cooper, Global Head of Reinsurance, said: “It is fantastic to see Vicky take on the leadership role at Canopius. She embodies much of what we offer our reinsurance clients and partners: she brings a wealth of underwriting experience to the role and a clear focus on client and broker relationships.
“We will continue to invest in and build our London reinsurance business. That’s why we are very pleased to appoint Vicky to this role – she is passionate about what we are doing and the growth of her team. We are certain that her leadership will be integral to the continued growth of our global reinsurance business.”
