Specialty reinsurer SiriusPoint has promoted Nestor Lopez to the role of chief technology officer, according to a statement released today (26 May 2023).

In his new position, Lopez, who joined the company in 2022 as chief information officer, will be responsible for building out SiriusPoint’s data capabilities.

The reinsurer said he would also develop and maintain an “effective and stable” operating platform for the business.

He will report to SiriusPoint chief executive Scott Egan.

Egan said: “The quality and accessibility of our data is central to SiriusPoint’s strategy and best-in-class aspirations.

”I look forward to continuing to work with Nestor as we further develop our data and tech capabilities.
