Reith joins Acrisure as Executive Chairman of its MGA Volante

Acrisure has onboarded Martin Reith as executive chairman of its Lloyd’s business with managing general agent (MGA) operations, Volante Global.

In addition to his role at Volante, Reith will advise Ben Canagaretna, managing director of Acrisure Re Corporate Advisory and Solutions, and provide insights on Acrisure’s efforts to access third-party capital to capitalise on emerging opportunities.

He will be based in London and report to Matt Schweinzger and Grahame Millwater, Acrisure’s executives whose responsibilities include Acrisure Re, their London based and International based businesses, as well as all global MGAs and programmes.

Bringing 40 years of industry experience to Acrisure, Reith has held leadership roles in underwriting, distribution and alternative capital.

Most recently he was CEO at Helios Underwriting, and was the founder and CEO of Ascot Underwriting back in 2001.

Commenting on the appointment, Schweinzger says: “As Acrisure continues to expand, we want to ensure we are benefiting from the most experienced leaders in the London market and beyond. Martin’s expertise will add tremendous value across several areas of our business.”

Millwater adds: “I have had the advantage of knowing Martin over many years, and his reputation and extensive network of long-term relationships will be extremely valuable and further strengthen our leadership team.”
