Former QBE Re executive to lead London operations and support global integration at the reinsurance broker
Price Forbes Re has appointed Tim Barber as CEO of its London reinsurance operations.
Barber brings more than 40 years of industry experience and will report to Chris Bonard, president of Price Forbes Re.
He was most recently head of North America at QBE Re, based in New York, and earlier held senior casualty reinsurance roles at Benfield and Aon in London.
He began his career at Wigham Poland Reinsurance Brokers, spending nine years in broking roles including international secondments.
In his new role, Barber will oversee Price Forbes’ London business while also contributing to the integration and development of the global franchise.
Bonard said Barber’s appointment marked “a significant step forward” for the business.
“Tim brings deep expertise, proven leadership, and an unmatched track record in building reinsurance businesses. It’s emblematic of the strength of our platform that we’re able to attract someone of his calibre and experience,” he said.
Barber said he was joining at a time of “real momentum” for Price Forbes Re.
“The strength and stability of the Ardonagh Group, combined with the ambition and expertise within the team, create a compelling foundation for significant reinsurance growth,” he said.
“I look forward to working with colleagues, clients and markets to help shape a culture and strategy that are ambitious, sustainable, and built around long-term partnerships,” Barber added.
