Tokio Marine GX (TMGX) is making the most of its 2020 acquisition of Gcube to support the expansion of its renewable energy business, following the platform’s launch in May 2025.
Olly Litterick has been named head of renewables, reporting to chief underwriting officer Ben Kinder. Rosa van Reyk and Michael Galea have been appointed as heads of North America for the West and East Coasts, respectively. Both will report to Litterick and all bring experience from GCube, which Tokio Marine snapped up in June 2020.
The newly created roles are effective immediately, with further appointments expected as the company scales up its renewable energy operations.
Litterick was previously head of London Market underwriting at GCube, where he was involved in underwriting performance, international growth and new business development. At TMGX, he will lead the company across onshore wind, offshore wind, solar and battery storage.
Van Reyk brings 15 years of experience across insurance and sustainable power markets. She previously served as a senior underwriter at GCube, working in California for the past six years with a focus on large and complex risks in North America.
Galea, also a former senior underwriter at GCube, joined the company’s London office in 2012 and relocated to New York three years ago. He has more than a decade of experience in the renewables sector and has worked closely with US-based clients.
Based in Orange County and New York City, van Reyk and Galea will lead TMGX’s underwriting strategy in North America. Their responsibilities include developing the company’s regional proposition and expanding capacity for clients.
TMGX was created to meet rising demand for insurance products supporting the energy transition. The platform builds on GCube’s renewable energy underwriting capabilities, Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire’s offshore marine business, and the wider group’s global expertise.
TMGX’s chairman, Fraser McLachlan, said the business combines GCube’s foundations with the operational reach of Tokio Marine’s global network.
He said the appointments of Litterick, van Reyk and Galea position TMGX to support clients across the energy transition and that their experience in underwriting strategy will drive growth in the renewables portfolio. He added that all three are recognized in the renewable energy insurance market and are expected to shape the company’s strategy going forward.
Meanwhile, Kinder said demand for TMGX’s initial suite of products and green transition initiatives had exceeded expectations, prompting the company to fast-track the rollout of both its offering and leadership team.
