Specialty insurer announces a new chairman with a background in underwriting and experience in the American and Canadian markets.
Paul Primiani has been appointed chairman of
Ironshore Canada, taking over from Mark Wheeler, CEO of
Ironshore International. Primiani’s resume includes underwriting and leadership positions in the U.S. and Canada, spanning some 40 years in the insurance industry.
“We welcome Paul to our team in Canada,” Wheeler said in an announcement, “as his professional expertise, vision and dedication will prove invaluable as Ironshore continues to build its platform as a leading specialty insurance company throughout the Canadian region.”
Primiani was executive vice president and chief risk officer of GCAN Insurance Company, which was acquired by RSA Insurance Company, and continued to lead a specialty portfolio for RSA Canada.
“This is an exciting opportunity to elevate recognition of Ironshore’s suite of specialty products,” said Primiani, “addressing the heightened coverage demand from companies operating in Canada and expanding into global markets.”
