Everest Re promotes engineering head to lead global specialties

Everest Reinsurance has appointed former head of engineering Emily Davis as head of its newly formed global specialties business. 

Everest Re, a subsidiary of Bermuda-based Everest Group, said Davis will be responsible for aviation, marine, cyber, engineering, and parametric solutions. She will report to Jill Beggs, reinsurance executive vice president and chief operating officer.

“Emily has been instrumental in the development and growth of Everest’s dedicated global specialties business, which has expanded alongside increasing market demand since its launch earlier this year,” said Beggs. 

“Emily’s demonstrated leadership, collaborative approach, and proven success in building a market-leading portfolio make her ideal to lead our talented teams and offerings into the future, ensuring that our customised solutions are readily accessible to our clients with the protection they need to navigate new and emerging risks.”

 Davis most recently served as Everest Reinsurance’s vice president and global head of engineering. 

Prior to Everest, she held global actuarial and underwriting roles at Transatlantic Reinsurance Company in Construction, Downstream Energy and Property. She began her career as an actuarial analyst at Aon and is a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries.
