Canada Life Re appoints Eamon Loughnane as Global P&C leader as Gabriel Kelly retires

Canada Life Reinsurance, a provider of reinsurance solutions, has recently announced the upcoming retirement of Gabriel Kelly, a key contributor to the company’s success for over three decades, and the appointment of Eamon Loughnane as the new leader of its Global P&C arm.

With 33 years of dedicated service, Kelly has left a lasting impact on the company, marked by his leadership, resilience, and focus on growth.

Kelly has been the CEO of LLCBC in Barbados for the past 19 years and previously held a senior role in the company’s Dublin office.

His strategic vision and perseverance were essential in guiding the P&C business through challenging times in the early 2000s, helping to strengthen the company’s catastrophe retro business and expanding its structured P&C portfolio, explains the firm.

Loughnane will succeed Kelly as the leader of the Global P&C Business Unit. Loughnane brings a proven track record, having successfully led the transformation of the company’s life reinsurance business in Europe.

Kelly will continue to oversee the P&C business until March 30th, 2025, before spending the next three months ensuring a smooth transition.

“We are immensely grateful for Gabriel’s unwavering commitment, dedication, and loyalty,” said Jeff Poulin, CEO of Canada Life Reinsurance. “His leadership has been a driving force behind our success, and we look forward to celebrating his extraordinary career as he approaches retirement.”

“It is an honour to have worked with Gabriel over the past 25 years. I could not be more excited about the prospects for the P&C business and team he has built,” commented Derek Popkes, Global COO Reinsurance at Canada Life Reinsurance.

“I couldn’t be more pleased to have Eamon take on this new role,” further added Poulin. “I have every confidence he will continue to build on our success and capitalise on the opportunities we have before us.”
