Arch Re Company appoints PartnerRe’s Jonathan Schriber as president

Arch Reinsurance Company, Arch Capital’s North American reinsurance arm, has appointed former PartnerRe US underwriter Jonathan Schriber as president effective August 1, 2023.

Schriber (pictured) will be based in the company’s Morristown, New Jersey, office and will have responsibility for Arch’s US-based reinsurance operation’s underwriting portfolio and oversight of the entity’s overall strategy.

Schriber is joining Arch from PartnerRe where he most recently served as chief underwriting officer, P&C Americas. He has nearly 30 years of experience in the reinsurance industry, including senior roles at W.R. Berkley Corporation, ACE USA and General Reinsurance Corporation.

Peder Moeller, who had served as Arch Re CEO, will be returning to Europe by year-end in a senior role to help advance Arch Re Europe’s strategic efforts.

“I am thrilled to welcome Jon to Arch Re. He has a wealth of industry experience and a demonstrated ability to deliver results,” said Maamoun Rajeh, chairman and CEO of Arch Worldwide Reinsurance Group, a subsidiary of Bermuda-based Arch Capital. “He is well-regarded as a leader, has excellent underwriting acumen and a keen sense for cycle management. I’m looking forward to Arch Re Co.’s continued success under his direction.”

Rajeh added: “I want to thank Peder Moeller for leading Arch Re Co. for the last several years and the work he did shaping our overall US operations. I am happy he will finally be reuniting with his family in Denmark and am excited for our European team to benefit from his leadership and drive.”

“I’m honoured to take the role of president of Arch Re Co,” Schriber said. “I’ve always held Arch in high regard and have been very impressed with the trajectory of the company. I look forward to working with my new colleagues as we focus on continuing to be the first call for our clients and building on the success of the business for many years to come.”
