Bermudian-based Vantage Group Holdings Ltd has appointed Leanne Berry as chief distribution officer.

She will report to Alex Blanco, insurance chief executive.

The company said Ms Berry will oversee all aspects of Vantage's specialty insurance distribution strategy to support the organisation's sustained growth trajectory further.

She will be responsible for building greater market awareness, strengthening key partner and client relationships, and originating new business in close collaboration with underwriting leaders.

Mr Blanco said: "Vantage has expansive relationships with all leading wholesale and retail brokers, a testament to our laser focus on speed-to-the-trade.

"I'm confident that Leanne will continue to increase our considerable momentum. She is driven to develop new broker and client relationships, strengthen existing ones and drive strategic opportunities.

"Together with our underwriters, she'll deliver the exceptional support for which Vantage has come to be known."

Before joining Vantage as central region distribution leader in 2023, Ms Berry was vice-president of business development at Arch Insurance Group. Previously, she held various distribution and marketing leadership roles at AIG.
