The Baldwin Group Welcomes Industry Veteran Paul Sparks to Its Board

The Baldwin Group has named Paul Sparks as its newest board member, effective 1 January 2026. The appointment follows the company’s recent $1.026 billion merger with CAC Group, where Sparks served as Executive Chairman since its founding in 2019. His arrival brings nearly four decades of industry experience to the leadership team.

Sparks began his career at Chubb, where he led customer group practices before moving to Aon Corporation as Senior Vice President. He later spent 25 years at McGriff, Seibels & Williams, founding and heading its financial services division. In 2019, he launched CAC Group, guiding its growth until the merge pdf with The Baldwin Group.

Trevor Baldwin, CEO of The Baldwin Group, highlighted Sparks’ role in advancing the firm’s 'Broker of the Future' strategy. His expertise in crafting specialised insurance solutions was cited as a key factor in the decision. Lowry Baldwin, the company’s Chairman, also praised Sparks’ leadership in scaling CAC Group and fostering a high-performance culture. The merger, valued at over $1 billion, positions Sparks to contribute directly to The Baldwin Group’s next phase of expansion. His background spans underwriting, broking, and executive leadership across major industry players.

Sparks’ addition to the board aligns with The Baldwin Group’s post-merger growth plans. His decades of experience in financial services and insurance leadership are expected to support the company’s strategic direction. The move takes effect at the start of 2026.
