Corant Global (Corant) has appointed Paul Scope as chairman of its Bermuda operations. Corant launched at the start of the year after becoming the holding company for all the insurance interests of BGC Partners, a global brokerage and financial technology company. Scope will be working alongside Chris Bonard, CEO of Corant Bermuda and Ed Broking Bermuda, and John Turner, chairman of Ed Broking Bermuda. With more than 40 years of industry experience, Scope joins from Willis Bermuda where he has been chairman since 2015. Prior to that, he founded Park International where he served as president and CEO for more than a decade, becoming chairman of The Park Group in 2003.
