Mr. Charbonneau brings nearly three decades of actuarial and enterprise risk leadership across the insurance and reinsurance industries. Most recently, he headed the actuarial function at Arch Insurance Company Ltd. in Canada, where he established a portfolio management culture and transformed enterprise data analytics and strategy to deliver profitable growth and strong underwriting discipline. Concurrently, he provided board-level governance and risk oversight as a director and audit committee member of Coface SA.

"Yves's track record, from building enterprise risk frameworks in Bermuda to leading capital and reserving discipline across multiple platforms, reflects the exact rigor we need at the center of Vantage's risk function as we continue our momentum under Howard Hughes Holdings," said Marc Grandisson, Executive Chairman of Vantage.
"Vantage has built a dynamic, highly differentiated platform across the North American and Bermuda re/insurance markets," said Mr. Charbonneau. "I look forward to partnering with the leadership team to advance our disciplined expansion and drive sustainable, profitable performance across the portfolio."
