Acrisure Re US has announced the promotion of Tom Deane (pictured above, left) to managing director, head of Acrisure Re Corporate Advisory & Solutions, LLC (ARCAS US).

Deane will oversee ARCAS US operations and serve as its supervisory principal while continuing to report to Ben Canagaretna, global managing director of Acrisure Re Corporate Advisory & Solutions, Ltd. 

In his new role, Deane will work with the global team to strengthen ARCAS’s four core areas: strategic advisory, insurance-linked strategies, retrospective transactions, and corporate finance.

He will also collaborate with ARCAS, ARCAS US, Acrisure Re, and Acrisure, LLC to support key mandates and advance long-term strategic initiatives. 

Deane joined Acrisure Re in August 2023 as head of banking and has nearly 20 years of experience in re/insurance capital markets and advisory. Before joining the firm, he was a partner at Stonybrook Capital, focusing on investment banking opportunities in the lower-middle-market insurance sector.

He previously held positions at JLT and Benfield Advisory, later acquired by Aon, specializing in capital raises and mergers and acquisitions.

Inskeep joined Acrisure Re in October 2022 and previously served as director, capital advisory at Aon. His prior experience includes roles at Accenture, AM Best, Standard & Poor’s, and Willis Re.
