Former Everen Group CEO brings three decades of energy risk leadership to Symphony Risk clients navigating complex global markets
AUSTIN, Texas – Sept. 9, 2025 – Symphony Risk Solutions, a leading innovator in risk management advisory, insurance brokerage, and human capital consulting, today announced that Bertil C. Olsson has joined the firm as Senior Advisor and Chairman, Symphony Energy, its specialized business focused exclusively on the risk management needs of the energy industry. Olsson brings more than 30 years of experience in insurance strategy and risk management across oil and gas, power, and renewables, petro-chemical, and chemical sectors – most recently as President and CEO of the Everen Group, a specialty insurer focused on the energy sector in Bermuda.
A Global Leader in Energy Risk
At Symphony Energy, Olsson will serve as a strategic resource to clients and colleagues, working closely with business President Tyler Wooldridge on strategy, M&A, and human capital initiatives. His expertise will support operators, investors, and developers navigating volatile markets, evolving regulations, and increasing demands for innovation in both conventional and renewable energy.
“Bertil has been in the room for the biggest decisions in energy risk for more than three decades,” said Michael Marcon, CEO of Symphony Risk Solutions. “He’s advised multinationals, scaled global teams, and led one of the most important mutual insurers in the sector. He understands how energy businesses succeed – and fail – in high-stakes environments. That perspective is invaluable for our clients.”
Proven Results in High-Stakes Roles
As CEO of Everen Group, Olsson led the world’s leading mutual insurer serving energy clients across the globe, strengthening capital, growing membership, and expanding the company’s reach until his retirement in 2025. Before Everen, Olsson held senior leadership roles at Marsh and Willis in Houston, including serving as regional executive for Marsh South Central and leading Marsh’s U.S. energy practice.
“Energy risk is dynamic, technical, and constantly evolving. It impacts operational, financial, and human business areas,” said Olsson. “Symphony Energy gets that. They’re not just placing coverage, they’re partnering with clients on real issues: strategy, capital, and people – it’s what drives long-term value. That’s why I look forward to helping Symphony Energy with the next phase of growth.”
An Asset for Clients, Partners, and Colleagues
“For Symphony Energy clients, Bertil is a force multiplier,” said Wooldridge. “He’s built teams, led complex transactions, and delivered outcomes in some of the toughest markets in the world. His insight will help our clients move smarter and faster – and that’s the Symphony Risk difference.”
Olsson holds degrees from The Royal Swedish Naval Academy and the University of Lund in Sweden. He resides in Austin, Texas.
