Retired CEO emerges at Munich Re Syndicate’s board

David Croom-Johnson (pictured), who retired in the middle of 2022 after serving as chief executive of AEGIS London, has emerged at the board of Munich Re Syndicate.

In a LinkedIn job update that now has more than 230 reactions, Croom-Johnson said: “I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as non-executive board member at Munich Re Syndicate Limited.”

In January 2022, the then soon-to-be-exiting boss stated: “It has been an honour and a privilege to lead AEGIS London over the past seven years and now seems the natural time to step aside.

“I will be leaving the syndicate as a top quartile performer in the excellent hands of a high-quality management team led by Alex with whom I have worked for many years and who has been a major contributor to our success to date.” 

Meanwhile Munich Re Syndicate, also known as Syndicate 457 at Lloyd’s, came to life in 1977 when approximately 400 Lloyd’s syndicates existed. Currently, there are less than 100 in the market. The syndicate was acquired by Munich Re Group in 1997.
