London: Apollo today announces its leadership changes for the Construction line of business as Tim Cook prepares to retire from his role as Head of Construction on 31 December 2025.
Tim Cook joined Apollo in 2022 with a short-term intention to establish and commence writing Construction Physical Damage. Since then, he has laid strong foundations for the class, built meaningful broker relationships, and positioned Apollo as a credible and growing market presence. Apollo thanks Tim for his dedication and wishes him every happiness in retirement.
As part of a planned succession, Matt Larke assumed the role of Class Leader, Construction Physical Damage in April 2025. Matt has already taken on day-to-day leadership and is driving the next phase of development for the class. Alongside Matt, the Construction team continues to grow, including the appointment of Laura Sylvester, who joined in July from RSA/Intact, bringing further technical expertise to support the expansion of the portfolio.
James Slaughter, Group CUO, commented:
“Tim has brought deep technical expertise and thoughtful leadership to Apollo’s Construction business. His work establishing the class has created a strong platform for future growth. With Matt firmly in place and already leading the class, supported by a talented and expanded team, we have a clear plan for continued success and value creation for clients.”
Apollo congratulates Matt on his leadership role and expresses its appreciation to Tim for his service and successful contribution to the business.
