Joe Boren to chair Mosaic Insurance’s new advisory board

Global specialty insurer Mosaic Insurance has named Joe Boren as Chair of a new advisory board to drive strategic growth, especially across North America.

Boren’s remit will be helping the firm identify other key industry individuals to build out the new advisory group, mandated to focus on market engagement, innovation, strategy, and thought leadership.

He is an industry veteran with five decades of experience, with a special focus on the environmental sector, and currently serves as a Senior Advisor at Synapse Services, LLC, the US wholesale broker.

Mitch Blaser, Co-CEO of Mosaic, commented on the appointment: “Joe is a trusted colleague and progressive industry leader who has had a remarkable career in the specialty insurance space, and we couldn’t be happier to have him join us in this strategic endeavour.

“His leadership of this high-level panel of experts is an asset as we move to accelerate the buildout of our business, with emphasis on our three largest lines, cyber, and transactional and environmental liability.”

Throughout his career, Boren has held several leadership and management roles, including nearly a decade as President of US field operations, and Chairman of Environmental at Ironshore Inc.

Boren added: “I’m excited to join the advisory board of Mosaic. Mitch was a driving force behind the creation of Ironshore, and, with Mark and other colleagues at the company, built a strong international presence. It will be fun to join them, and my friend and colleague Toby, to assist as they continue to build this dynamic specialty company.”

His other roles include being the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AIG’s environmental division, where he built both the company’s environmental portfolios.

The firm stated that under his leadership in the sector, many environmental-risk executives developed to top positions across the industry, including Toby Smith, whom he hired at Ironshore and last week was announced as Mosaic’s newly appointed CEO, Americas.

Smith said: “I look forward to working with Joe, who has been a mentor and friend of mine for many years. Mosaic stands to benefit enormously by having someone of his caliber lead our advisory board.”

Mark Wheeler, Co-CEO, further added: “It’s a privilege to welcome Joe as chair of what we envision will be an esteemed group of experts who can offer our teams excellent guidance and connectivity to a valuable network of industry relationships. The deep knowledge of leaders like Joe has been honed across market cycles and business lines and it will provide Mosaic with a competitive advantage.”

Launched in February 2021, Mosaic works across several industry segments, its model combines capacity from the firm’s Lloyd’s syndicate, 1609, with capital from carrier partners seeking regional access and expertise in non-commoditised lines.
