Its reinsurance arm works with insurance companies, brokers and corporate clients to structure risk-sharing solutions designed to enhance portfolio stability and capital efficiency. This segment is supported by Markel’s presence in major reinsurance markets, including Bermuda, Europe and Asia.

Founded in 1930 and headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, Markel has expanded its geographic footprint to include offices in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The company’s strategy blends disciplined underwriting with long-term investment of insurance float, reacting nimbly to market cycles while maintaining conservative reserving practices. Over the decades, Markel has also pursued selective acquisitions of underwriting agencies and specialty insurers to broaden its service offering and enter new markets.

Markel’s leadership team is headed by Co-Chief Executive Officers Thomas S. Gayner and Michael J. Powell, who oversee both underwriting and investment functions. Under their guidance, Markel continues to emphasize a culture of decentralized decision-making, empowering local management teams to tailor risk solutions for their clients. Supported by a seasoned board of directors with deep insurance and investment expertise, the company remains focused on delivering long-term value through disciplined growth, capital preservation and innovation in specialty insurance.
