Bermudian-based Fortitude Re has appointed Greta Hager as chief financial officer and Kai Talarek as chief growth and optimisation officer, effective August 17.

They will report to CEO Alon Neches.

As CFO, Ms Hager will lead the company’s controllership, tax, financial planning and analysis, and strategic finance teams.

She most recently served as head of financial planning and analysis at Mass Mutual. Previously, she held leadership positions with AIG and Grant Thornton.

The company said Mr Talarek is transitioning from his prior role as CFO into the newly-created role to further focus on the company’s competitive capabilities and lead Fortitude Re’s growth strategy.

He will continue his focus on Fortitude Re’s corporate development, capital management, treasury and investor relations functions, ensuring future growth is supported by a strong capital structure, efficient funding and a value proposition that continues to resonate with clients, regulators and capital providers.

Mr Neches said: “I’m thrilled to welcome Greta to Fortitude Re and to continue working closely with Kai to ensure we achieve sustainable, high-quality growth.

“Delivering world-class client service requires world-class talent. Greta and Kai embody why we feel that #destinationFortitudeRe delivers so strongly on both fronts.”
