Everest eyes international reinsurance expansion with new leadership roles

Bermuda-based re/insurer  Everest Re Group has made new senior leadership appointments to further advance its long-term growth agenda. The appointees formerly held various executive roles at Munich Re and XL Group.

Artur Klinger (pictured left) has been named head of international reinsurance, with Rui Marliere (pictured right) appointed to lead its Latin America, and Caribbean reinsurance business.

In his new role, Klinger will oversee the company’s reinsurance business in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, reporting directly to Everest Group COO and head of reinsurance Jim Williamson.

He has more than two decades of deep reinsurance experience, most recently as managing director of Continental Europe at Everest where he built a team and achieved strong growth in the P&C treaty portfolio.

Prior to Everest, Klinger held various executive roles at Munich Re, most recently as chief underwriting officer of its Swiss subsidiary NewRe, where he led its global P&C business. He was also a managing director of Munich Re’s Capital Partners unit, responsible for structuring reinsurance solutions to support growth and capital strategies for clients across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Klinger also served as chief actuary at Allianz Risk Transfer and Alea. He is based in Zurich.

Marliere in his new role will support the Reinsurance Division’s growth objectives in Latin America and the Caribbean. He also brings more than two decades of experience in the region, including leading underwriting business in Brazil, Peru, and Chile. Most recently, Marliere served as the head treaty underwriter for Everest’s Caribbean and Colombia portfolios.

Prior to joining Everest, Marliere held various key leadership roles at XL Group in treaty and facultative underwriting, claims, and accounting.

Juan Andrade, Everest president and CEO, said: “The exceptional track record and local expertise Artur and Rui bring to our international reinsurance business reflect the leadership excellence Everest is known for throughout the world.”

“We will continue to invest in the people and infrastructure that best position us to support the needs of the global market, further advance Everest’s long-term growth agenda and deliver on our promise to our shareholders and the businesses and communities who need us the most.”

Williamson, Everest Group COO and head of reinsurance, added: “The appointments of Artur and Rui are a testament to Everest’s extraordinary talent and reflect Everest’s reputation as a preferred global reinsurance underwriter.”

“Both are seasoned, international executives who understand the needs of local markets with the experience and relationships to best serve them. They augment our global team and capabilities and play an important role in positioning Everest for the future.”
