Chief operating officer at Sompo Canopius Stephen Manning has decided this will be his last year at the group, as he announced plans to leave the organisation at the end of 2016.

Manning joined Sompo Canopius in 2005 as chief risk officer. During his 11 years at the company he has held several positions, including head of Sompo Holdings Regional ERM Centre for US and Europe.

Chief executive officer of Sompo Canopius Stuart Davies said he would like to thank Manning for his vision, drive, enthusiasm and dedication.

“As COO, he has led all the business’s support functions, including the significant Solvency II programme, and has built a platform supporting multiple classes of business,” Davies said.

“We wish him the best for the future.  We will be looking at Steve’s responsibilities and decide how they are managed in due course.”

Manning said he had enjoyed his time at the organisation and felt it is time to look for new challenges.

“I would like to thank the leadership team and all my colleagues here for their great support,” Manning said.
