RenaissanceRe Names Robin Lang Group Chief Risk Officer

RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: RNR) announced today that Robin Lang will assume the role of Group Chief Risk Officer on a permanent basis on September 1, 2023. Mr. Lang has been RenaissanceRe’s Interim Chief Risk Officer since April 2023 and will succeed Ian Branagan in the role. Mr. Branagan is currently on compassionate leave, and going forward will serve as a senior advisor to the Company.

Kevin O’Donnell, President and Chief Executive Officer of RenaissanceRe, said: “Robin is a deeply knowledgeable risk practitioner, bringing over two decades of experience with RenaissanceRe focused on global risk management, risk governance, and external supervision. We are pleased to promote Robin into the important role of Group Chief Risk Officer, and I look forward to continuing to work with him as we advance our best-in-class risk culture.”

Mr. O’Donnell continued: “Ian’s contributions to RenaissanceRe’s success and culture over his approximately 25 years with the company have been immense. He was instrumental in developing our Integrated System and has long been committed to connecting data, technology and people to advance our view of risk and progress our strategy. More broadly, Ian has been a leading industry advocate for innovative solutions to close both the knowledge and protection gap in vulnerable communities. Our thoughts are with Ian as he focuses on his family, and we look forward to continuing to benefit from his wise counsel in his role as a senior advisor.”

Mr. Lang will continue to be based in RenaissanceRe’s London office and will be responsible for global risk management and governance, including external supervision.
