John Hopper
Head of Financial Lines
I’ve been in financial lines insurance since starting as a D&O underwriter at AIG in 1999. During my 20 years at the firm, I had various different roles and responsibilities – including leading its London D&O team, the largest in the London market, from 2007 to 2008. I spent four years running AIG’s Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe and South Asia financial lines business based in Dubai, before returning to London to head up the UK financial lines operation for six years. Finally, I became Chief Underwriting Officer for financial lines across all of AIG’s business outside of the US and Canada.
I decided to joined Convex because it seemed like was a phenomenal opportunity, and it’s proven to be that way. The company is even better than I thought it would be in terms of the toolkit it brings and the way it’s positioned itself. I feel fortunate to be able to build out the financial lines platform and hire market leading talent.
