RiverStone International has appointed Charlotte Pritchard (pictured above) as UK chief executive officer, effective January 5 and subject to regulatory approval.
She will succeed Andrew Creed, who will become group president on the same date while continuing as group chief financial officer.
Pritchard has more than 16 years’ experience in financial services and has spent the past eight years with RiverStone International. She most recently served as group risk and compliance director, overseeing risk and compliance activity and leading cross-border teams in five territories.
Her promotion comes as the legacy specialist continues to build scale across its core markets. Since 2010, RiverStone International has completed 47 transactions, acquiring US$17.7 billion in gross liabilities, and in 2024 it reported $300 million in adjusted profit before tax with a 19.1% return on opening adjusted tangible book value.
That deal flow has continued into 2025, including a reinsurance-to-close agreement with Asta Managing Agency that transfers the 2022 year of account for Hampden Risk Partners Syndicate 2689 into RiverStone International Syndicate 3500 at Lloyd’s.
The transaction reinforces RiverStone’s “intelligent follow” approach in the Lloyd’s market and adds to the legacy portfolios managed out of the UK, an area that will fall within Pritchard’s day-to-day responsibilities.
Group chief executive officer Luke Tanzer said the appointment reflects Pritchard’s contribution over the past eight years. “We are delighted to appoint Charlotte as UK CEO,” he said, noting that she has “developed strong relationships and delivered consistent results” and has “consistently demonstrated her capabilities” as group risk and compliance director.
Creed, who has combined the UK CEO role with his finance remit for the past two years, said he welcomed the internal handover.
“I am pleased that Charlotte will be succeeding me as UK CEO,” he said, adding that her “strong presence and proven track record at RiverStone International make her an outstanding choice for the role” and that he has “complete confidence in her ability to excel and drive the continued success of our UK business.”
The UK move forms part of a broader senior leadership transition at RiverStone International, which will see Paul Brockman take over as group CEO following Tanzer’s planned retirement after 16 years.
Brockman, who has more than three decades’ experience in the legacy market across the US, London, Bermuda and other international hubs, is expected to work alongside Creed and Pritchard as the group pursues further legacy portfolio transactions.
