Body Text
Markel Insurance, the insurance operation within Markel Group Inc., has promoted Colin Wildey to Chief Risk Officer for Markel International, subject to regulatory approval. Wildey, who has served as Head of Risk at Markel International since 2022, brings more than a decade of senior risk management experience across the London Market and the international insurance sector. Before joining Markel, he was UK Chief Risk Officer and Group Head of Risk & Capital at Fidelis Insurance, where he oversaw the Group Risk Framework across multiple entities. Earlier in his career, he held a range of risk management, consulting and underwriting roles at organisations underwriting business in the UK, Ireland, Bermuda, Australia and New Zealand. In his new role at Markel, Wildey will focus on further enhancing “how risk informs decision-making” across the business. Based in London, he will report to Henry Gardener, who was appointed Chief Risk Officer of Markel Insurance in 2025. Gardener commented, “The Risk team at Markel International plays a critical role in strengthening resilience throughout the business, working in partnership with employees across the business to support clarity of purpose, ownership of risk and strategic alignment. “By combining analytical expertise with practical insight, we help Markel meet its commitments to policyholders, regulators, shareholders and partners. “I’m delighted to see Colin step into this new role. He has made a significant contribution to improving how risk is understood and managed across Markel International. “He combines strong technical expertise with a collaborative, pragmatic approach and has built trusted relationships across underwriting, capital, actuarial, compliance and operations.” Wildey said, “Effective risk management is about helping the business take considered risks with confidence. “I’m incredibly pleased about the progress we’ve made in embedding risk thinking more broadly across Markel International in recent years, and I’m looking forward to continuing to support leaders and underwriters as we navigate an increasingly complex risk environment.”
