Everest Re lands Munich Re/Swiss Re vet for global reinsurance role

Bermuda-based  Everest Re Group has brought in a senior Munich Re, XL and Swiss Re executive to lead its reinsurance global distribution strategy.

Joe Stuhl (pictured) has joined the company as senior vice president of global distribution, reporting to Anthony Izzo, global head of facultative and distribution at  Everest Reinsurance, the reinsurance arm of  Everest Re Group.

In his newly created role, Stuhl will be responsible for deepening relationships and engagement with brokers and cedants, as well as identifying and addressing emerging needs to optimise the customer experience.

Stuhl has more than 25 years of experience leading transformational growth strategies at global reinsurance companies. Most recently, he served as an executive vice president and broker executive at Munich Re US, where he oversaw all aspects of broker relationship management.

Prior to joining Munich Re, he was a senior vice president and casualty team leader with American Re, where he was responsible for the profitability, management and development of a diverse portfolio. He also served as a vice president and New York branch manager at XL Re, where he managed the company’s largest and most profitable facultative branch, and began his reinsurance career in casualty underwriting with Swiss Re.

“Joe is an outstanding addition to the global distribution team. He is highly regarded in the industry with a deep relationship network and proven record of driving transformational broker distribution strategies,” said Izzo.

“I look forward to partnering with Joe as we continue to enhance our growing global distribution network. Joe’s experience and leadership will support all aspects of  Everest’s distribution – from strategy and marketing to driving best-in-class customer solutions.”
