Global specialty re/insurer Argo Group International Holdings has announced the appointment of Kevin Rehnberg as Chief Administrative Officer.
Rehnberg joined Argo in 2013 as President of U.S Operations and extended his remit to the company’s business in Latin America earlier this year.
Argo explained that he will take on his new responsibilities as Chief Administrative Officer in addition to his current role.
Prior to joining Argo, Rehnberg served as Executive Vice President for specialty lines at OneBeacon Insurance, where he oversaw specialty underwriting operations and acquired and built new lines of specialty business.
He also held similar senior executive positions at The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Liberty International and Chubb Corporation, and more recently served as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Consultants in Laboratory Medicine of Greater Toledo Inc.
“We have made great strides in creating a more efficient organization and enhancing customer service,” said Argo Group CEO Mark E. Watson III. “Our progress is evident in the company’s quarterly results, with both increased written premium and lower expenses.”
“In order to accelerate these efforts, we have repositioned the executive committee to focus more of our time and energy evaluating strategic priorities and directing resources to the best opportunities – while at the same time relying more heavily on our talented group of leaders to continue to improve our operations,” Watson explained.
“It is with this in mind that I have decided to move more of the company’s operations under Kevin’s leadership, which should give me more time to focus on our digital businesses and our investment portfolio.”
He continued: “Kevin has transformed the U.S. business, demonstrating a persistent drive for results and continuous improvement. I’m certain he will take on these responsibilities with the same vigorous approach.”
