RiverStone said it expects Brockman’s leadership to shape the group’s next phase. The company did not provide additional details on near-term strategic changes tied to the appointment.
The earlier announcement said Brockman was expected to join RiverStone this month, pending regulatory approval. He joined from Enstar Group, where he most recently served as group chief commercial officer.

At Enstar, Brockman previously held titles including group chief operating officer and group chief claims officer. He also served as CEO of the company’s US and European businesses, and RiverStone has cited his experience across the US, London, Bermuda and other international markets.
RiverStone also said Andrew Creed would take on the additional role of group president while continuing as group chief financial officer. Creed has served as RiverStone’s finance director and CEO of its UK and Lloyd’s operations, and he has been with the company for more than 12 years.
