Vantage Group Holdings Promotes Krista Robinson to Chief Risk Officer

On October 2, 2025, Vantage Group Holdings Ltd. announced a significant leadership change within the organization. Krista Robinson has been promoted to the role of Chief Risk Officer (CRO), taking over from retiring Peter Skerlj, who has had a noteworthy career in the industry.

Robinson's new position places her at the helm of Vantage's initiatives regarding enterprise risk management and reserving frameworks. With a history of contributing to the company's strategic vision and risk assessment capabilities, she is expected to play a crucial role in propelling Vantage toward its goals of sustainable and profitable growth.

Having joined Vantage in 2021, Robinson previously served as Chief Risk Officer for the insurance segment, where she laid down a robust foundation for the company's risk and reserving functions. Her extensive background includes leadership roles at CNA Insurance, specializing in risk governance, enterprise risk management, and actuarial reserving.

Greg Hendrick, Vantage's Chief Executive Officer, expressed his enthusiasm for Robinson's promotion, stating, "Krista has been instrumental in shaping Vantage's risk and reserving functions from the ground up. Her actuarial expertise, strategic mindset, and collaborative approach have earned her the trust of colleagues across the organization." Hendrick also acknowledged the contributions of Skerlj, wishing him well in his retirement.

Under Robinson’s leadership, Vantage aims to further develop its capabilities in risk assessment, analytics, reserving, and capital modeling. She commented on her new role, saying, "Vantage is a place where fresh thinking and technical rigor come together. I’m excited to take on this broader role and work with Greg and the leadership team to advance our enterprise-wide risk and reserving strategy and support the company’s long-term resilience."

Vantage Group Holdings, which was established in late 2020, is positioned as an innovative player in the re/insurance landscape. Known for its unique approach to addressing client risks through creativity and technological efficiency, Vantage has rapidly gained recognition in the industry. Its operating subsidiaries—Vantage Risk Ltd., Vantage Risk Assurance Company, and Vantage Risk Specialty Insurance Company—maintain strong credit ratings of "A- (Stable)" from both AM Best and S&P Global Ratings.

Vantage is backed by two major global investment firms, Carlyle and Hellman & Friedman, which bring significant expertise to the re/insurance sector. The company's commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and resilience is underscored by its focus on continuous improvement and adaptability in a changing market.

As Robinson steps into her new role, the industry watches closely, eager to see how her leadership will shape the future of risk management at Vantage and influence the broader re/insurance landscape. With her background and the strong team behind her, the prospects for Vantage look promising as it continues to navigate the complexities and challenges of modern risk management.
