Imala Re, the Latin American and Caribbean Property, Motor and Marine treaty reinsurance MGA operating through The Fidelis Partnership’s Pine Walk platform, has announced the appointment of Edward Herrera as Deputy Chief Underwriting Officer.
The recently launched MGA began underwriting for 1st January 2026 inceptions, offering catastrophe excess of loss, risk excess of loss, and quota share solutions to both locally domiciled treaty clients and select multinational clients.
Imala Re is one of 16 active MGAs on the Pine Walk platform, which provides tailored underwriting, operational, and regulatory frameworks to support specialist MGA offerings.
In his new role, Herrera will be based at Imala Re’s Miami headquarters and will work closely with Ivan Vega, CEO and Chief Underwriter, to grow Imala Re’s Latin American portfolio and serve both regional and non-regional clients.
Herrera brings more than two decades of industry experience, joining Imala Re from MS Reinsurance, where he served as Lead Underwriter.
Prior to that, he was Vice President – Latin America & Caribbean at Everest Reinsurance. Herrera also served as a senior underwriter at Flagstone Reinsurance.
Vega commented, “Having known and worked with Eddy for many years, it’s a real pleasure to be welcoming him to Imala Re. Since our launch in October, the positive reception that we have received from clients and prospects has reaffirmed the market demand for high-conviction, differentiated underwriting and for the leadership needed to tackle increasingly complex and interconnected risks. Eddy’s deep market expertise and extensive local market relationships will be invaluable as we seize these opportunities in Latin America and support The Fidelis Partnership’s wider High Growth Markets strategy internationally.”
Herrera added, “I’m delighted to be joining Ivan and Imala Re at this exciting time of growth for the business. To be building out a compelling new MGA offering for the LatAm market whose strengths are complemented by the globally recognised reputation, insights and expertise of The Fidelis Partnership is a uniquely attractive opportunity, and it’s a great pleasure to be getting started.”
