Mark Wheeler has joined the newly launched company Mosaic Insurance, global specialty insurer, as co-CEO. Wheeler will work alongside Bermuda-based and co-CEO Mitch Blaser. Launched in February, the company combines Lloyd’s Syndicate 1609 with a wholly-owned syndicated capital management agency and underwriting hubs in Bermuda, London, the US and Asia. Wheeler has served in a variety of leadership roles, overseeing capital planning, underwriting and distribution during his more than three decades of industry experience across global markets and product lines. He was the founder of top-quartile Lloyd’s Syndicate 4000 and Pembroke Managing Agency, which was purchased in 2008 by Ironshore, where Blaser was a founding executive. Wheeler served as CEO of Ironshore International, managing creation of high-profile consortia and expansion to 14 countries. He later held executive roles in global client engagement and international markets for Liberty Mutual Group following its 2017 acquisition of Ironshore. Blaser says: “Mark Wheeler is a great friend and respected industry figure with a celebrated track record, and I’m thrilled to welcome him aboard as dual leader of our company.” “We are completely aligned in our vision for Mosaic’s culture and strategy for success, and it’s fantastic to be working together again,” he adds. Wheeler notes: “I am so proud to be back in the Bermuda and Lloyd’s markets, working alongside Mitch Blaser again. He and I share many common values and bring complementary skills to the fantastic team of people we serve.” Wheeler’s appointment is subject to work-permit approval.
