Acrisure

Lovell Singer replaces Matt Schweinzger, who stepped down in April after becoming embroiled in a high-profile Ponzi scheme.

Craig Darling said the opening of a dedicated branch in Florida showed Acrisure Re’s commitment to the state and region.

Jason Howard moves to Acrisure International president and chairman of Acrisure Re as the wider business moves to a fintech financial services model.

Reporting to head of London North America Mark Higgins, Dan Shaw is set to join in the autumn.

Schweinzger, who was also Acrisure’s chief acquisitions officer, is a victim and a witness in the case and is facing no criminal charges.

Acrisure Re has recruited Willis Re executive vice president and 20-year veteran Paul Sperrazza as the employee-owned broker expands its presence in the Midwestern reinsurance market, according to a spokesperson for the intermediary.
