Industry veteran Matthew Rohrmann has joined Bermudian-based re/insurer Everest Re Group Ltd as senior vice-president, head of investor relations.

Mr Rohrmann, who will report directly to Everest executive vice-president and CFO Mark Kociancic, succeeds Jon Levenson.

The company said Mr Rohrmann would be focused on deepening Everest’s engagement with the financial community, strategic planning and market analysis, and would also be responsible for ratings agency interactions.

“We welcome Matt at an exciting time in Everest’s evolution as a world-class customer and investor platform,” said Juan C. Andrade, president and CEO of Everest.

“Matt is a seasoned investor relations professional with a deep understanding of our industry and business. We look forward to working with Matt as we deliver on our commitment to create exceptional value for all stakeholders.”

Mr Rohrmann joins Everest after holding senior investor relations roles within the re/insurance industry, most recently as global head of investor relations at Axis Capital.

Mr Kociancic said: “We are excited that Matt is joining us to lead investor relations at Everest.

“His deep industry experience, coupled with his strong network across the investment community, will be invaluable to our ongoing dialogue with investors and analysts.”

He added: “We would also like to thank Jon for his contributions to Everest and wish him success in his future endeavours.”
