Brand, Co-Founder and Deputy CEO of Convex, said: “We launched Convex to be the insurance company of the future; an innovative insurance partner that challenges the status quo by putting fairness and honesty at the centre of our singularly client-focused proposition. Our success in achieving this is dependent on the people we work with and we are lucky to have exceptional individuals such as Matt and Theo leading the teams in Bermuda and London.  

“Matt is a highly respected member of the Convex team and has played a key role in our formation and development to date. His experience and understanding of the market make him the natural candidate to take on the role of CEO of our Bermuda operations.

“Theo is well regarded in the London market and embodies the ethos and values that Convex is built on.  He has made a great contribution to the company since he joined in April and has the skillset, expertise and understanding to lead Convex’s London operations.

“It’s an exciting time for Convex and I look forward to continue working with Theo and Matt in their new roles as we continue to grow the business.”
