Belliveau expressed enthusiasm about joining Topsail Re, noting his eagerness to contribute to the company’s development of innovative actuarial models.

In addition, Jessica Hall (pictured above, right) has been appointed as Topsail Re’s reinsurance accounting manager. Hall graduated from Elon University with a bachelor of arts in corporate communications and has 18 years of experience in the reinsurance and insurance industry.

Prior to joining Topsail Re, Hall worked at Gallagher Re as a senior account manager/broker support with the UK-based programs team.
