Everest Re taps PartnerRe for global head of financial risk

Everest Reinsurance has appointed a former PartnerRe executive to be global head of financial risk.

Everest Re, the reinsurance division of Bermuda-based Everest Group, said Marco Schiattone will be global head of financial risk. He is based in Zurich and reports to Artur Klinger, head of international reinsurance.

“From credit and surety to political risk and mortgage, Marco will lead a unified underwriting strategy focused on solving our clients’ and brokers’ most complex risks,” said Klinger. “His extensive global financial risk expertise and deep global relationship network is key to driving growth opportunities as we continue to deepen our foothold in markets around the world.”

Schiattone brings more than two decades of experience leading global credit and financial risk teams, most recently at PartnerRe where he led the Latin America and Southern Europe Financial Risk business.

Schiattone also served as product leader of the firm’s medium-long term credit and political risks (MLTCP) portfolio. Earlier in his career, he held credit, surety and political risks underwriting roles of increasing responsibility at Arch Re, Ariel Re, Swiss Re, SACE and Generali.
