Everest Re’s Mt. Logan unveils new CUO amid leadership reshuffle

Bermuda registered collateralized insurer Mt. Logan Re, Everest Re Group’s third-party capital unit, has unveiled three key changes to its leadership team, including a new chief underwriting officer (CUO).

Clint Graham takes the reins as CUO following the retirement of David Whiting, who joined Mt. Logan in 2013 and was CUO, board member, and former president.

Graham joined Mt. Logan in the spring of 2021 as the head of property underwriting and analytics. Prior to Everest, he served in a variety of underwriting, catastrophe modelling, and broking capacities at global re/insurance and asset management organizations including Willis Re, Arch Re, and Nephila Capital.

At Mt. Logan Re, Graham will be responsible for managing the risk share between Everest’s reinsurance business and Mt. Logan investors.

The company has also appointed Greg McBride to the newly created position of global head of marketing and business development. McBride held senior positions at Markel Corporation and JLT Re, where he led insurance-linked securities and global and domestic reinsurance programmes.

At Mt. Logan Re, McBride will be responsible for the expansion of the Mt. Logan investor base with asset managers, pensions, sovereign wealth funds and endowments across the world.

“Greg will be key to increasing our property and catastrophe business and in developing new low correlation investment products to drive sustained growth and profitability,” Mt. Logan Re president John Modin said.

He added: “With strong analytical skills and risk management acumen, I am confident Clint will successfully advance the underwriting discipline and leadership that David Whiting has brought to Mt. Logan since the company’s inception nine years ago.”

Mt. Logan offers alternative capital markets the opportunity to gain exposure to a diversified pool of reinsurance risks through collateralized reinsurance products.
