Dicker is “a seasoned professional with nearly a quarter-century of agriculture reinsurance experience,” said the bulletin. He was most recently affiliated with Guy Carpenter & Company Ltd., which he joined in 1994, and most recently served as Managing Director and Co-Leader of the Guy Carpenter Group Agriculture Specialty Practice.
