Canopius Group has appointed Nadine Moore (pictured) as chief executive officer of its US business, effective September 2026. Moore will report to Group CEO Neil Robertson and join the group leadership team as the London-based specialty insurer continues to scale its US retail and wholesale operations.
Moore joins from Boston Consulting Group, where she most recently served as managing director and senior partner. Her career spans several functions that are uncommon in combination for a carrier CEO role: she held a senior position as a placing broker at Aon, has carried CFO-level financial responsibilities, and has led operational transformation work in regulated insurance environments. She also brings M&A experience and a record of delivering AI initiatives in the insurance sector.
Moore will be based in Chicago and oversee Canopius' US operations across both retail and wholesale businesses. Robertson said her combination of distribution and financial credentials informed the appointment. "She brings deep market expertise, a strong track record of delivery, and outstanding relationships across the industry," Robertson said. He said her mandate would include helping Canopius "mature, professionalise and develop both our retail and wholesale businesses in the US as we pursue our growth ambitions."
Moore said the scale of the existing US platform and the group's plans for the region were central to her decision.
Moore succeeds Lisa Davis, who served as CEO of the US and Bermuda business. The appointment is the latest in a series of senior US hires at Canopius: the group brought in a US regional head of strategy and transformation in October 2025 and added a chief underwriting officer for US and Bermuda earlier in that cycle. Canopius has grown its US staff by more than 30% since 2020.
The appointment comes with the backing of a strong international capital position. Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance holds a 40% stake in Canopius, built through three investments totalling approximately $870 million, including a $570 million tranche in June 2025. Canopius reported $3.53 billion in gross written premium in 2024 and ranks among the top five Lloyd's syndicates by stamp capacity.
