Charles Brindamour

Global Insurer CEO Keynote – Charles Brindamour, CEO and President of Intact - Monday 9 June, 2:10 – 2:50pm

Location: The Auditorium: 1A, Level 1

Charles will focus on where the world is going, and what we are actively doing about it. There will be a key focus on geo-politics and climate, as well as a zoom in on technology including AI and Cyber.

Charles Brindamour is Chief Executive Officer of Intact Financial Corporation. IFC is the largest provider of property and casualty insurance in Canada, a leading provider of global specialty insurance, and, with RSA, a leader in the UK and Ireland. He began his career with Intact in 1992 and has held progressively senior roles, in Canada and abroad, within Intact and its former affiliates, including Senior Vice President of Personal Lines and Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Brindamour was appointed President and CEO in January 2008.

Under Mr. Brindamour’s leadership, the company became an independent and widely-held Canadian company in 2009 and two years later, acquired AXA Canada; at the time, the largest acquisition in the history of Canada’s property and casualty insurance (P&C) industry. In 2017, Mr. Brindamour grew the company’s presence further into the United States with the acquisition of OneBeacon Insurance Group, Ltd. In 2021, Mr. Brindamour successfully completed the acquisition of RSA Insurance plc, Intact’s largest acquisition to date, growing premiums from $12 to $20 billion.

Mr. Brindamour is a graduate of Université Laval in Actuarial Science and an Associate of the Casualty Actuarial Society. In May 2019, Mr. Brindamour received an honorary PhD from HEC Montréal. He is a board member of Intact Financial Corporation, the Geneva Association, and the Business Council of Canada.

Hub Slot: Intact Insurance – Building a Global Specialty Lines leader

Tuesday 10 June, 2 – 2:30pm

Nadia Côté, CEO of RSA Europe, Jon Cope, Managing Director of UK Specialty Lines, and Calvin Gray, President of Global Marine.

This presentation explores RSA’s upcoming rebrand to Intact Insurance later in 2025, and the importance of leveraging our global footprint to deliver expert solutions. We’ll examine how we develop deep, long-term relationships with our customers through our flexibility, our service excellence and being easy to do business with.

Seminar: The modern risk professional. Predicting and preparing the skills of the future

Tuesday 10 June, 2 – 3pm

Andy Jones, Director of Risk Consulting talks about fundamentals and risks.

As the global risk landscape becomes more complex and the world more uncertain, the role of the risk professional is evolving beyond traditional boundaries. This session explores the skills, tools, and mindsets required for tomorrow's risk leaders to thrive now and in the future—blending data-driven decision-making, strategic and analytical thinking, and cross-functional collaboration. Attendees will gain insight into emerging trends, including the impact of AI, big data, and the changing world of work, and how, within this environment, modern risk professionals are becoming key drivers of organisational resilience and innovation. 

Seminar: The macroeconomic front heading our way. Developing resilience in uncertain times

Tuesday 10 June, 3 – 4pm

Michael Gregory, Underwriting Strategy Director talks about Advanced, Risk and Insurance.

The experience of the global economy since the end of the pandemic has been turbulent. Whilst strong policy frameworks in many countries have contributed to global resilience, many countries have come through this period with high debt levels and debt-servicing costs. The challenge now is to safeguard macroeconomic stability from further geopolitical shocks. This seminar will consider what economic factors will make the greatest difference to enhancing the competitiveness of the UK.

Meet our leadership team

Nadia Cote

I recently joined RSA as CEO of Europe and Head of Specialty Lines in our UK business. This will be my first AIRMIC with RSA, and it’s a great opportunity to meet with you - our customers and partners – to enhance and strengthen existing relationships and develop new ones. Later this year, we will rebrand as Intact Insurance. I look forward to sharing the Intact story with you, including our objective to build a specialty lines leader through expanded distribution, a growing mix of verticals, and a specialised customer value proposition. Be sure to say hello!
