At TMR we believe firmly in Tyler’s talents and are proud to continue to sponsor him and see him reach the goals he has set for himself.”
Founded in Bermuda in 2000 as a subsidiary of Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co., Ltd., Japan’s oldest and one of its largest non-life insurance companies, TMR operates with a deep commitment to underwriting discipline and scientific analysis of risk, aligned with a strong balance sheet and close relationships with clients.

I’ve enjoyed working with the team at TMR over the past five years, not only in pursuit of my personal goals but also through a variety of opportunities designed to inspire others, and I look forward to more of the same in the years ahead.”
