Volante Global, a multi-class, multi-territory international Lloyd’s Syndicate and Managing General Agent (MGA) owned by leading global fintech Acrisure, is pleased to announce the appointment of Peter Montanaro as its new Non Executive Director, effective 1 July, 2025.
Montanaro will bring considerable experience of the London market, Lloyd’s syndicates and the re/insurance industry to support Volante Global’s disciplined underwriting growth ambitions. Working closely with Martin Reith as Chair, Peter will be appointed to the Volante Global group board; and will also Chair the FCA regulated UK entity, Volante International Limited (‘VIL’), subject to regulatory approval. VIL operates as an MGA and is a Lloyd’s approved Service Company, providing delegated underwriting services to both third party providers of insurance capital and Volante’s own Lloyd’s Syndicate 1699.
Joining from Lloyd’s of London, Montanaro will bring more than three decades of London market experience to Volante. His prestigious and pivotal role as the corporation’s Market Oversight Director afforded him responsibility for safeguarding performance, integrity and prudential oversight of the marketplace. He also chaired the Capital Planning Group (CPG), the Lloyd’s committee responsible for the approval of syndicate business plans and capital setting. Montanaro joined Lloyd’s in 2002 as Head of Reinsurance and later became Head of Delegated Authorities in 2007 before moving into his oversight role.
Martin Reith, Chair and interim CEO of Volante Global, said: “Volante is going through an exciting period of evolution as we further harness our core strengths. Volante’s underwriting expertise and global reach are the strong foundations to further expand our UK offering and deepen our core international footholds. We are thrilled to have someone with Peter’s expertise, knowledge and relationships, not just within Lloyd’s but the London market as a whole, to continue this development.”
Montanaro said: “I’m thrilled to be joining Volante at such a pivotal moment in its journey. The company’s maturing syndicate with ambitions for sustainable and disciplined growth makes this a great fit, and I’m excited to work with the Board and Executive to explore the potential across both the syndicate and MGA.”
