Vantage Group taps Somerset Re CFO Steve Robb to lead group finance

Bermuda-based re/insurer Vantage Group Holdings has appointed Somerset Reinsurance chief financial officer Steve Robb as its new group CFO, adding a veteran finance leader to its executive team.

Robb steps into the role of group CFO for the re/insurer, underscoring its continued growth and commitment to building a resilient, future-ready organisation. He will report to Greg Hendrick, chief executive officer (CEO), and join Vantage’s leadership team.

As group CFO, Robb will lead enterprise-level finance functions across the Vantage group, including financial reporting and control, financial planning and analysis, treasury, investments and tax. He will serve as a strategic advisor to the CEO and board, engage with investors, and rating agencies.

Prior to his tenure at Somerset Reinsurance, Robb was CFO of Axa XL as well, following more than two decades in senior finance leadership roles across the enterprise, where he led all financial matters and oversaw risk management and investments. He began his career at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

Hendrick said: “Steve brings incredible experience and a track record of building strong financial teams and operations. He knows how to optimise capital, allowing businesses to grow. His background in global reporting, treasury, and investments is exactly what we need as Vantage further scales and strengthens relationships with our brokers, clients, and investors.”

Robb added: “I’m thrilled to join Vantage at such an exciting time. What drew me here is the company’s culture and its commitment to using technology and data to make smarter decisions. I look forward to working with Greg and the leadership team to further strengthen the group’s strong financial foundation and sustained momentum.”
