Brit Insurance Group announced on Tuesday that John Winn will take charge of its Bermuda-based platform, effective July 1. The move comes as the company looks to deepen its presence in one of the world’s leading insurance and re‑insurance centres.

Winn joins Brit with a track record of more than a decade of senior roles across the re‑insurance sector. Prior to this appointment he served as Chief Operating Officer at Global Re, where he oversaw Bermuda‑based policy administration and spearheaded several capital‑raising initiatives. His experience in navigating the island’s regulatory framework and building local talent will be key to Brit’s growth strategy.

Bermuda’s insurance industry benefits from the appointment, as the company’s expanded footprint is expected to create new professional opportunities and strengthen the island’s reputation as a hub for complex risk solutions. The Bermuda Monetary Authority has welcomed the development, noting that seasoned leaders such as Winn help maintain the high standards of governance and compliance that the jurisdiction is known for.

“Bringing John to the helm of our Bermuda platform aligns with our commitment to deliver world‑class service to our clients while supporting the local economy,” said Brit’s CEO, Laura Hughes. "His expertise will be instrumental in driving innovation and ensuring we continue to meet the evolving needs of the global market."
