He will head up the global actuarial pricing team, focusing on offering a “best-in-class” pricing framework, business insights and portfolio analytics.
He will work alongside the IT teams to implement standardised pricing infrastructure across the company’s operations.
In his new role, Anderson will report to group chief underwriting officer Anthony Shapella and chief actuary Justin Brenden.
With more than 20 years of actuarial experience, Anderson was previously a partner at EY, tasked with advising London Market companies on pricing and portfolio management strategies.
He also had stints at Allianz, where he latterly held the role of deputy chief pricing actuary, and earlier worked at Brit Insurance and Swiss Re.
Shapella said: “James has a proven track record of building and leading actuarial teams, and specialty lines expertise on a global scale, and we are extremely pleased to welcome him to the team. We remain focused on hiring the best talent in the industry and believe James’ leadership will be pivotal in enabling SiriusPoint to develop best-in-class pricing and sustainable financial outcomes for our clients.”
Anderson added: “SiriusPoint has demonstrated its commitment to underwriting profitability and excellence, and I am eager to use my experience to assist and lead the global pricing actuarial team to continue to improve the company’s underwriting performance and build the global brand.”
This follows the recent addition of Helen Cahill to SiriusPoint’s London office as head of international pricing and business planning.
Cahill joined on 6 January, having previously served as the head of pricing at Apollo, and led actuarial teams at Allianz.
She will now report to Anderson and lead the pricing team for SiriusPoint International.
In December last year, SiriusPoint reached an agreement to repurchase all common shares and warrants held by CM Bermuda for $733m. This transaction will lead to CM Bermuda relinquishing its remaining ownership interest in SiriusPoint and its representation on the company’s board of directors.
