Hamilton poaches new group CFO from Everest Re Group

Hamilton Insurance Group has appointed a new group chief financial officer (CFO) effective July 1. He will report to Group CEO Pina Albo and replaces Tony Ursano who will be leaving  Hamilton in mid-July to set up an insurance and insurtech advisory business.

New CFO Craig Howie joins Hamilton after nine years at Everest Re Group where he was EVP, chief financial officer. Prior to joining Everest, Howie spent over 23 years at Munich Re America where he held a number of senior finance positions. Howie started his career in public accounting with EY.

“We look forward to welcoming Craig to Hamilton and are delighted to have attracted someone of his depth and breadth of talent to complement the strength of our existing team,” said Albo. “With over 30 years’ experience in the global re/insurance market, Craig is an excellent choice to join our Group Executive and to lead the global finance operations of our growing company. Craig is an experienced and highly respected industry professional who will transition seamlessly into his new role. Having worked with Craig in the past, I know he will be a valuable addition to the Hamilton team.

“Tony has been a highly effective CFO and we thank him for the focus, passion and drive he contributed to Hamilton at a significant time in the Company’s growth. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours.”
