Argo looks to Sompo for new group general counsel

Bermuda-based re/insurer Argo Group International Holdings has appointed Allison Kiene to serve as group general counsel. She joins from Sompo International Holdings.

In her new role, Kiene will be responsible for Argo’s legal and compliance teams and will report directly to chief executive officer Kevin Rehnberg.

Most recently, she served as assistant general counsel and chief compliance officer, data protection officer at Sompo International Holdings. She held similar roles with increasing responsibility at Montpelier Re, Blue Capital Management and Familymeds Group.

Rehnberg said: “Allison joins Argo with a wealth of experience in all aspects of the insurance industry’s legal, regulatory and compliance environments. She will serve as a valuable member of the executive committee as we look to simplify the organisation and pursue growth in our most profitable businesses.

“We would also like to thank Susan Comparato for serving as our former U.S. general counsel and managing much of the group’s legal and compliance responsibilities during this transition period. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with Susan as she moves into her new role leading our Programs, Transportation and Alternative Risk Solutions businesses.”
