SCOR Syndicate appoints Henry Mummé-Young as Active Underwriter

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Henry Mummé-Young as Chief Underwriting Officer, SCOR UK, and Active Underwriter for SCOR Syndicate 2015, subject to regulatory approval. Henry will report to Chris Beazley, CEO of SCOR UK & SCOR Syndicate. He replaces Marie Biggas, who has been promoted to the role of CUO SCOR Business Solutions & FAC.

Henry joined SCOR in 2014 as a Senior Underwriter within Political & Credit Risks as part of SCOR Syndicate 2015 (then called Channel Syndicate 2015), and in 2021 was appointed Global Line Head for Political & Credit Risks across both Syndicate and Company Markets. Prior to joining SCOR, Henry worked at both ACE and Liberty in an underwriting capacity.

Henry is a Chartered Insurer of the Chartered Insurance Institute. He has both an MSc in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from the University of London, and a BA in Ancient, Medieval & Modern History from the University of Durham.

In his role, Henry will oversee the underwriting strategy and performance of SCOR UK’s operations and Lloyd’s syndicate capabilities.

Claire McDonald, CEO of SCOR Business Solutions, commented: “I am very happy to see Henry take on this important role for SCOR UK and the syndicate. As someone who has worked across both, he is an ideal candidate to continue the development and growth journey of the two platforms. I look forward to working with him in his new role. I would also like to thank Marie Biggas for her valuable leadership in this role over the last 2.5 years, and for covering the interim since her appointment to Global CUO for SCOR Business Solutions and Fac.”

Chris Beazley, CEO of SCOR UK & the SCOR Syndicate, commented: “We are delighted to appoint Henry to this role. I have no doubt his broad skillset and experience will further strengthen our underwriting leadership as we continue to build SCOR’s specialty insurance presence in the London market.”
