Managing Director, Insurance Solutions

6 July 2026

Global Private Markets Manager (€200bn AUM)

The Mandate

A global private markets manager required a Managing Director to build and lead its insurance solutions capability — engaging insurers globally as an asset management client base, in addition to its established track record as an equity investor in the sector.

The Challenge

A highly specialised mandate requiring a rare combination of:

  • Deep private markets investment expertise across credit, infrastructure and alternatives

  • Strong understanding of insurance capital frameworks (Solvency II, Matching Adjustment, BMA, NAIC)

  • Proven ability to build and lead a global business line

  • Established relationships with insurance CIOs and senior decision-makers

  • Credibility as a thought leader in insurance asset allocation and capital optimisation

The intersection of technical insurance expertise, private markets knowledge and commercial leadership represents one of the most constrained talent pools in asset management.

Search highlights

  • Global mandate spanning Europe and North America

  • Cross-sector search across investment banks, asset managers, insurers and advisory firms

  • Accessed a highly constrained, non-visible talent pool

  • Delivered a strategic hire to build a new global business line

Our Approach

AMC mapped the global insurance solutions talent pool across multiple sectors — including investment banking, asset management, insurance companies and actuarial advisory firms.

We combined AI-enabled analysis with deep relationship intelligence to identify candidates with both regulatory technical depth and a proven track record of commercial mandate delivery.

Candidates were assessed on three critical dimensions: technical expertise, client relationships and thought leadership — ensuring alignment with the strategic nature of the role.

We worked closely with the client to position the opportunity as a platform-building role — defining a new capability and shaping the firm’s engagement with the global insurance market.
