Nephila promotes Dedman to Head of EMEA, Partner Capital

Nephila Capital has promoted business development, investor relations and capital raising executive Tom Dedman to the role of Head of EMEA, Partner Capital in the firm’s Nephila Advisors unit.

tom-dedman-nephila-capital Dedman, who is based in London and works in the UK arm of Nephila Advisors, the investor relations and business development division of Nephila Capital, took on the new role this month, according to an update on LinkedIn.

Dedman has worked at insurance-linked securities and catastrophe reinsurance investment manager Nephila since 2018, an almost eight year stint focutilized on developing investor relations.

Before this promotion, Dedman held the role of a Business Development Director. Now, as Head of EMEA, Partner Capital, presumably he will take on more senior responsibility to lead Nephila’s work with investors across that region.

Dedman specialises in supporting investors understand the benefits of relatively uncorrelated returns from the insurance and reinsurance market, across catastrophe, climate and specialty risks.

Over the course of his career, Dedman has developed experience across financial institutions advisory and capital raising, as well as alternative investments, with a number of roles at major firms.

Before joining Nephila, he held roles as an Associate Director in the financial institutions practice at KPMG, in the IPO and M&A corporate finance team at Numis Securities, in M&A advisory at Willis Capital Markets & Advisory and as an assistant advisor at Credit Suisse.

A week ago we reported that Nephila Capital hired experienced reinsurance and capital management executive Anthony Landi as Head of Strategic Growth for the US arm of Nephila Advisors.
