Harris to succeed Duclos as Chair of QBE Capital

QBE Insurance has appointed Christopher Harris as Chair of QBE Capital, effective 9 May 2025.

Harris will serve as the successor to Dave Duclos, the outgoing Chair of QBE Capital, who will retire in July 2025.

QBE stated that Duclos’s 9-year tenure has seen the successful evolution of the role of the captive within QBE, through to its reclassification last year as a Class 4 insurer in Bermuda, authorised to write third-party business.

“His inclusive style of leadership, extensive industry experience and deep knowledge of QBE have facilitated a highly effective QBE Capital Board,” the firm added.

Incoming Chair Harris currently serves as CEO and board member for Monarch Point Re, a private specialty reinsurer.

Before this, he spent more than 13 years at Montpelier Re in C-Suite positions as Chief Actuary, Chief Risk Officer and Chief Underwriting Officer, before being appointed CEO.

Harris also sits on the boards of Catalina Holdings, an Apollo Global Management portfolio company, and Oceanview Reinsurance, a Bayview Asset Management portfolio company.

Additionally, he is a Board Leadership Fellow of the National Association of Corporate Directors. Previously, he sat on the boards of James River Group, Hiscox Insurance Company Bermuda, Hiscox Re, Montpelier Re and Blue Capital Reinsurance.
