James River hires International Farming exec Zimardo for IR role

James River Group Holdings has appointed Bob Zimardo (pictured), a senior executive from agricultural investment firm International Farming, as senior vice president of investments and investor relations.

The Bermuda-based re/insurer said Zimardo will report directly to chief financial officer Sarah Doran, bringing over 20 years of experience in finance and investor engagement to the role.

Most recently he was with International Farming, a multi-billion dollar farmland investment platform, where he served as partner, investor relations and operations. Prior to International Farming, Zimardo was director of client services at Halcyon Capital Management (now Bardin Hill Investment Partners), managing relationships across diverse private market investment offerings.

Doran said: “We are excited that Bob has joined the James River finance team, and I personally look forward to working with him in his new role. He brings significant experience in investor relations and alternative investments and will be a key partner for all of us in working with our external stakeholders. I am confident that he will be very successful in his new role.”
