Jon Sullivan is today announced as Brit’s head of property treaty.

He is anticipated to take up his position in the autumn and will report to Jonathan Turner, chief executive of Brit Reinsurance, the group’s specialist reinsurance business unit.

The move will combine the company’s North American and international property treaty reinsurance teams into a worldwide specialist property operation. Jon Sullivan joins from Torus where he was senior vice president, international reinsurance.

Turner said: “We are delighted to welcome Jon to the team – he has a wealth of experience and skills from over 20 years in the market, as a broker and as an underwriter in both London and Bermuda. I am certain he will play an instrumental part in the continued development and focus of our property treaty portfolio.”
