Hamilton Insurance Group, the Bermuda based insurance and reinsurance holding company, has announced the hiring of Brad Sforza, previously of PartnerRe, to the role of Head of Property Reinsurance for its U.S. reinsurance platform.

“All of us at Hamilton are pleased to see the manner in which our US platform is continuing to take shape,” commented Hamilton Re, Ltd. CEO Kathleen Reardon.

“Brad Sforza’s market reputation, client management skills and understanding of multiple classes of business are a great complement to Steve Wilson’s industry experience and expertise,” Reardon continued.

Sforza has 20 years of reinsurance industry experience, gained at PartnerRe and prior to that more than 14 years spent at broker Willis Re where he was Executive Vice President responsible for client management and business development. His career began as a broker analyst at reinsurance focused Aon Benfield.
