Arch Capital Group board member John Vollaro to step down

Long-serving Arch Capital Group board member John Vollaro has confirmed he will not stand for re-election at the company’s annual meeting in May, bringing a 20-year tenure to a close.

Vollaro will bow out after serving the remainder of his term, which ends on May 5, 2026.

Vollaro has served on Arch’s Board since 2009. From 2002 to 2009, he was chief financial officer, treasurer and executive vice president of Arch — helping steer the company from startup to a global specialty re/insurer.

John Pasquesi, chair of the board, said: “On behalf of the entire Board, we thank John for his many years of dedicated service and leadership. His guidance, commitment and unique perspective into Arch’s culture have been integral to the Company’s ability to consistently deliver shareholder value throughout the years. We wish him all the best.”

Nicolas Papadopoulo, Arch Capital Group CEO, said: “I have always appreciated John’s thoughtful guidance and seasoned insights. Over the past two decades, his leadership, sound judgment and deep industry expertise have strengthened our strategy and performance. On behalf of all Arch employees, I want to thank him for his many contributions.”

Vollaro said: “After more than 20 years at Arch, the time has come for me to step away. Arch is an amazing success story, and it has been both an honor and a privilege to be part of it. I’m excited for what’s ahead for Arch.”
