Bermuda-based specialty insurer Argo Group International Holdings announced the appointment of Jose A. Hernandez to lead the company’s international business, which includes all insurance and reinsurance operations outside of the U.S.
Hernandez joins Argo from American International Group where he most recently served as president and chief executive officer of AIG’s Asia Pacific region.
With 30 years of industry experience, Hernandez started his career working for several insurers in the U.S. and abroad. He spent more than 20 years with AIG in a number of senior leadership roles in both the consumer and commercial segments. He has experience in field operations, distribution, underwriting, claims, strategic planning and management. Over the course of his career, Hernandez has held country (Mexico), regional (Asia) and global (New York corporate headquarters) roles.
As a part of this change, David Harris, managing director of ArgoGlobal Syndicate 1200, will begin transitioning into a new group-level role, head of performance. He will report directly to Argo Group CEO Mark Watson, with specific accountability for performance management.
The company said Harris will stay on as ArgoGlobal managing director until his successor is in place to ensure a smooth transition.
