Hamilton Re taps RenaissanceRe for new CFO

Hamilton Insurance Group has  appointed Athena Tolosa to be chief financial officer of its Bermuda underwriting platform, succeeding Chad Cunliffe, who has retired from the company. 

Tolosa joins Hamilton Re from RenaissanceRe where she was senior vice president and head of finance for reinsurance. 

Tolosa will report to Hamilton Re chief executive officer Megan Thomas and group chief accounting officer Brian Deegan. 

Thomas said: “Athena’s appointment is an excellent addition to Hamilton and I look forward to working closely with her. She has an accomplished financial background with an impressive track record in the industry. 

“Her experience and counsel will help to ensure our finance team pursues its key priorities in support of Hamilton Re’s continued success.”

She added: “We are grateful for Chad’s contributions during his over nine years with Hamilton. We respect his decision to move home to Canada with his family and wish him all the best.”

Deegan added: “I’m pleased to welcome someone of Athena’s calibre to the Hamilton team. She will play a key role in the leadership of our global finance team.”

Tolosa held a range of senior roles for five years at RenRe and previously spent 11 years at Tokio Millenium Re (now part of RenaissanceRe) where she held roles of increasing seniority in both Bermuda and Switzerland. 

Earlier in her career, she worked with EY in Bermuda and PwC in the Philippines. Tolosa is a Certified Public Accountant.
