Fortitude Re shuffles financial leadership
Life re/insurer Fortitude Re has shuffled its financial leadership with the move of chief financial officer Kai Talarek to be chief growth and optimisation officer.
Talarek will be succeeded as CFO by former Mass Mutual executive Greta Hager. Both executives will report to chief executive officer Alon Neches.
Hager will lead the company’s controllership, tax, financial planning and analysis (FP&A), and strategic finance teams. She was head of financial planning & analysis at Mass Mutual. Previously, she held leadership positions with AIG and Grant Thornton.
Talarek will 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.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Greta to Fortitude Re and to continue working closely with Kai to ensure we achieve sustainable, high-quality growth,” said Neches.
“Delivering world-class client service requires world-class talent. Greta and Kai embody why we feel that #destinationFortitudeRe delivers so strongly on both fronts.”
