Vantage Group promotes Robinson to chief risk officer as Skerlj retires

Bermuda-based specialty re/insurer Vantage Group has promoted Krista Robinson  (pictured right) to chief risk officer, succeeding Peter Skerlj (pictured left), who will retire after a distinguished industry career. Robinson will join the leadership team and report directly to CEO Greg Hendrick.

In her new role, Robinson will lead Vantage’s enterprise risk management and reserving frameworks, building on the foundation she helped establish since joining in 2021. 

She will oversee risk and reserving in alignment with Vantage’s goals of sustained, profitable growth. Her leadership will further enhance Vantage’s leading capabilities in risk assessment, analytics, reserving, capital modelling and aggregation, the company said.

Robinson joined Vantage in 2021 and most recently served as chief risk officer – insurance. Prior to Vantage, she held several leadership roles at CNA Insurance in risk and governance, enterprise risk management and actuarial reserving.

Hendrick said: “Krista has been instrumental in shaping Vantage’s risk and reserving functions from the ground up. Her actuarial expertise, strategic mindset and collaborative approach have earned her the trust of colleagues across the organisation. I’m thrilled to have Krista step into this expanded role and support our continued momentum as we scale the company.

“We’re grateful for Pete’s leadership and many contributions to Vantage, and we wish him all the best in his retirement.”

Robinson commented: “Vantage is a place where fresh thinking and technical rigour come together. I’m excited to take on this broader role and work with Greg and the leadership team to advance our enterprise-wide risk and reserving strategy and support the company’s long-term resilience.”
