Global specialty insurance provider Sompo International Holdings has announced the appointment of Patrick Corbett as executive vice president and global head of accident and health, international insurance. Corbett will be based in London and will report to Richard Housely, chief underwriting officer of international insurance.

“With a proven track record in A&H and business development, Patrick will be a great asset to our growing Sompo International team,” said Julian James, CEO of international insurance at Sompo. “He will have responsibility for building out our A&H capability, beyond our traditional London wholesale offering, across the UK, Europe and around the world.

“This will require a clear, client-centric focus – looking at the issues presented by today’s uncertain and changing risk landscape through the eyes of insurance buyers and ensuring that we develop solutions that address their specific needs. He will lead an established and dynamic team that strives to build solid, strategic relationships with clients to ensure that we deliver what they need for the long term.”

Corbett has more than 35 years of industry experience in both Europe and Africa. He began his career as a loss adjuster, then moved into underwriting at AIG. While at AIG, Corbett held several senior roles, including head of consumer lines and senior vice president for A&H.

Corbett joins Sompo International from AXA, where he served as global chief underwriting officer and head of life, A&H.
