Former Pool Re CEO Enoizi Named Carpenter’s Head of Public Sector

Guy Carpenter, the reinsurance business of Marsh McLennan, announced the appointment of Julian Enoizi as global head of Public Sector, effective April 11, 2022.

In this newly created role, Enoizi will lead Guy Carpenter’s Public Sector practice, where he will be responsible for driving its growth strategy. He will work with the global team to identify opportunities to address systemic risks, such as cyber and climate change and develop innovative solutions that facilitate a closer working relationship between public and private entities.

Working with Marsh McLennan’s other businesses, including Marsh, Oliver Wyman and Mercer, he will continue building on the company’s position as the market leader in the sector. Mr. Enoizi will be based in London and report to David Priebe, Chairman of Guy Carpenter.

Enoizi has been in the industry over 25 years leading international insurance operations in Continental European, London and Lloyd’s markets. Most recently, he was CEO of Pool Re, the UK government-backed terrorism reinsurer that operates as a public-private partnership, presiding over significant advancements to the organization and its strategic direction, including the renewal of its unlimited government guarantee.

During this time, Enoizi also played a central role in discussions around how the UK might better manage the risks that sit on the government’s balance sheet. These conversations culminated in the joint development of a landmark initiative “Resilience UK,” aimed at encouraging industry and government collaboration to tackle systemic risks and protection gaps beyond terrorism.

Earlier in his career, Enoizi held leadership roles including managing director of ProSight Specialty Underwriters, president and CEO of Argo Managing Agency, and president and CEO of CNA Europe Holdings.
