Bermudian-based re/insurer Vantage Group Holdings Ltd has appointed Lorraine Seib to head its US excess casualty insurance business.

Through its operating subsidiaries, the company said, Vantage offers a wide array of specialty re/insurance products covering global risks, including niche property and casualty classes.

During Ms Seib’s extensive insurance career, Vantage said, she amassed a wealth of experience in commercial umbrella and excess risk and in primary commercial lines, RPGs and MGAs.

She previously led the excess casualty business at Aspen Insurance Group, XL Catlin Insurance Company and Travelers Insurance, and most recently served as chief underwriting officer for SynchronoSure.

Alex Blanco, Vantage chief executive of insurance, said: “We are very excited to have Lorraine join the Vantage team. Lorraine’s creativity, analytical expertise and values align with the Vantage mission and core values.

“We look forward to having our US excess casualty business grow successfully under her leadership, enabling Vantage to further support our clients’ complex risks.”
