SiriusPoint Ltd. (NYSE: SPNT) announced the launch of a Crisis Solutions class of business within its London Market Specialty division. The company appointed Paul Beattie and Ed Winter as joint heads to lead the new offering, both starting December 1, 2026.

Winter joins from Markel and Beattie from Talbot Underwriting. Both executives will report to Chris Fenn, SiriusPoint's Head of Marine. The Crisis Solutions team will focus on war, political violence, and terrorism risks, operating through SiriusPoint Syndicate 1945.

The team will be based in London with plans to develop underwriting, exposure management and claims capabilities. The new unit complements SiriusPoint's existing marine and specialty lines, particularly in ports and terminals, and specie coverage where terrorism and political violence exposures apply.

"The launch of Crisis Solutions reflects both our ambition to grow Syndicate 1945 and our commitment to supporting the Lloyd's market with differentiated capability," said Fenn in a company statement.

David Govrin, Group President and CEO of Global Reinsurance & London Market Specialty at SiriusPoint, said the launch addresses sustained demand increases for crisis management solutions driven by geopolitical tensions and conflict events.

SiriusPoint operates as a global specialty underwriter headquartered in Bermuda with offices in New York, London, Stockholm and other locations. The company maintains over $3 billion in total capital and holds A ratings from AM Best, Fitch and S&P, with an A3 rating from Moody's.
