“Since Kinsale was founded in 2009, Bryan has played an integral role in our success, helping build the strong financial foundation and capital position that have supported our growth. I want to thank Bryan for his integrity, unwavering commitment to financial excellence, and sound business judgment. He has been a trusted partner throughout Kinsale’s evolution, and his leadership has left a lasting mark on our organization. While we wish Bryan well in his retirement from his executive role, we are pleased that he will continue to serve Kinsale as a Director. His deep understanding of our culture and strategy, together with his strong alignment with stockholder interests, makes him a valuable addition to our Board,” said Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael P. Kehoe.
“Chris is a highly respected member of Kinsale’s senior leadership team. He understands how our technology-enabled, cost-efficient business model drives our success and has the expertise to lead our financial operations while supporting our long-term strategic priorities. I have great confidence in Chris’ ability to build on our strong foundation through disciplined financial stewardship and deliver best-in-class results for our stakeholders,” Mr. Kehoe continued.
“It has been a privilege to serve as Kinsale’s CFO and to work alongside such a talented team. I believe Chris is the right leader for our next chapter. He brings the experience, judgment and integrity needed to help Kinsale continue delivering profitable growth and creating long-term value for our stockholders. I look forward to supporting him during the transition and working with him as a member of the Board as we continue building Kinsale into the best excess and surplus lines company in the industry,” said Mr. Petrucelli.
