Bob Qutub

Matthew Neuber, RenaissanceRe’s Senior Financial Officer and Corporate Treasurer, will succeed Mr. Qutub as Chief Financial Officer, effective January 1, 2027. He will remain Corporate Treasurer and will join RenaissanceRe’s Governance Committee. Mr. Neuber’s appointment to Chief Financial Officer reflects his significant contributions to RenaissanceRe and is the outcome of the Company’s ongoing commitment to long-term succession planning. David Marra, RenaissanceRe’s Group Chief Underwriting Officer, will assume oversight of Mr. Curtis’ responsibilities in 2027.

Kevin O’Donnell, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “Since Bob joined us in 2016, he has provided rigorous financial oversight as RenaissanceRe has grown rapidly, including through two major acquisitions and geographic expansion. Over his tenure, Bob has evolved our investment portfolio and operations to reflect RenaissanceRe’s increased scale, and his financial acumen and leadership have helped drive greater earnings diversification and financial resilience that have been integral to our success. We are deeply grateful for his contributions and wish him and his family all the best in his retirement.

“Matt brings a proven track record of financial leadership, with deep expertise in corporate finance and capital management. He has played a pivotal role in advancing our strategy and has scaled our Treasury function in line with RenaissanceRe’s growth. His appointment reflects not only his individual strengths, but also the depth of internal talent we have developed across RenaissanceRe. I look forward to continuing our work together as we drive long‑term value for our shareholders.”

Bob Qutub, Chief Financial Officer, said: “It has been an honor to be part of RenaissanceRe and to work alongside so many outstanding colleagues over the years. Having worked closely with Matt over the past decade, I am delighted to see him assume this role. I have great confidence in his leadership, strategic insight and financial expertise.”

Mr. O’Donnell continued: “Over the past 27 years, Ross has helped shape the company we are today – from establishing our Syndicate 1458 to overseeing significant growth as Group Chief Underwriting Officer and most recently advancing our leadership in portfolio construction and capital efficiency as Chief Portfolio Officer. Importantly, he made a lasting impact on our culture by exemplifying our values, championing inclusion, and developing generations of talent. We thank Ross for his leadership and wish him and his family every happiness in his retirement.

“David has successfully grown RenaissanceRe’s portfolio as Chief Underwriting Officer, both organically and through the Validus acquisition, while maintaining our collaborative, high‑performing underwriting culture. I am confident that he will build on his long track record of underwriting leadership in this expanded role, matching desirable risk with capital and advancing our value proposition to customers at scale.”

Ross Curtis, Chief Portfolio Officer, said: “It has been a true privilege to be part of the RenaissanceRe team for nearly thirty years and to contribute to a business defined by underwriting excellence and a strong, collaborative culture. I am proud of the company we have built and the deep client relationships we have fostered. I have every confidence that those enduring strengths will continue to distinguish RenaissanceRe in the years ahead.”

To facilitate a smooth transition, Mr. Qutub will serve as a strategic advisor to the Company for a period of twelve months after his retirement and Mr. Curtis will serve as a strategic advisor for six months.
