SiriusPoint has announced the appointment of Will Nihan (pictured above) as chief executive officer of International Medical Group (IMG), effective Nov. 3.
IMG is a wholly owned subsidiary of SiriusPoint and provides global insurance benefits and assistance services.
Nihan joins IMG from Travelex Insurance Services, where he served as president and CEO. At Travelex, he was responsible for driving top-line growth and improving profitability. Before Travelex, Nihan was North America head of sales and distribution at Zurich Global Ventures and previously held senior marketing roles at Prudential Financial and AIG.
Nihan will succeed Adam Hirschfeld, who has served as interim CEO since March while also holding the position of general counsel. Hirschfeld will remain on IMG’s executive team and will work with Nihan to support IMG’s ongoing growth and transformation.
“Will is a seasoned leader, with experience in driving global transformation and growth strategies," said Scott Egan, CEO of SiriusPoint. "He brings strong experience of different products, sectors and geographies. We are excited for the future of IMG, and we are delighted to have Will join the team.”
Egan also thanked Hirschfeld for his leadership over the past seven months, noting his long tenure with the company.
The leadership change at IMG comes as SiriusPoint continues to adjust its executive team and business strategy. In September, the company appointed Martin Hudson to its board of directors, bringing more than 40 years of global re/insurance sector experience.
SiriusPoint also named David Turner as global head of claims, effective Oct. 7. Turner will oversee claims operations in both London and New York, drawing on his background with Fidelis, MS Amlin, and Willis.
In addition to leadership updates, SiriusPoint has made moves in its investment portfolio. The company entered into an agreement to sell its 49% equity stake in Arcadian Risk Capital to Lee Equity Partners for $139 million, with the transaction expected to close before the end of the first quarter of 2026. SiriusPoint will continue its capacity agreement with Arcadian through 2031.
The company also recently agreed to sell its supplemental health insurance program manager, ArmadaCare, to Ambac Financial Group, while maintaining a capacity partnership through 2030.
