RenaissanceRe names new CEO

From July 1, 2013, Neill Currie will retire as chief executive of RenaissanceRe. He will be replaced by Kevin O’Donnell, the president of RenaissanceRe Holdings. Currie will continue in an advisory capacity through the conclusion of his contract in February 2014.

O’Donnell joined RenaissanceRe in 1996 as an international and ceded reinsurance underwriter. He has also held the position of global chief underwriting officer and president of Renaissance Reinsurance.

Ralph Levy, chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, said: “The board gives Kevin our full support in his new role as CEO. He has already proven himself as an outstanding leader at RenaissanceRe and in the market. Kevin is both ready to assume his new responsibilities, and the right person for the position.”

O’Donnell commented: “I am excited and honored to become RenaissanceRe’s CEO and I want to thank Neill, the Board, and our leadership team and staff for their support. After seventeen years with RenaissanceRe, I know we have the best team in the business, and I look forward to leading the firm.”
