Catalina Holdings Bermuda has named Sarah Ruberry as chief executive officer of Catalina General, the run-off specialist’s group’s Bermuda-based reinsurer.

Ms Ruberry, a Bermuda resident, will take up her post in early November. She joins from StarStone, the specialty insurer, where she was chief risk officer of the US and Bermuda operations, and has experience working in finance, strategy, risk management and operations roles.

Ms Ruberry succeeds Gary Haase, Catalina’s group chief operating officer, who has held the position since 2017 and will remain a director of CatGen.

Meanwhile, Claudia Ingenhoven has been named as chief executive officer of Glacier Re, the Swiss subsidiary of Bermudian-based Catalina Holdings.

Ms Ingenhoven most recently served as chief financial officer of iptiQ EMEA P&C, Swiss Re’s pan-European P&C insurer. Before that she spent over a decade in the run-off arena in a variety of roles with Axa Liabilities Managers, including group chief financial officer, head of M&A integration and chief executive of Axa LM Switzerland.

Chris Fagan, chief executive of Catalina, said the appointments mark important steps in the development of Catalina’s Swiss and Bermudian operations, and thanked the outgoing executives for their “standout contributions to Glacier Re and Catalina General respectively”.
