Mutual Reinsurance Bureau appoints new CEO

Mutual Reinsurance Bureau (MRB) has appointed John Meyers III as its next president and chief executive officer.

Meyers will succeed Timothy Dorr, current president and chief executive officer, upon his retirement next year from the Illinois-based joint reinsurance association.

Meyers most recently served as vice president of treaty underwriting at Safety National Reinsurance. He has more than 25 years of insurance industry underwriting experience, with recent tenures at Maiden Reinsurance and PMA Reinsurance.

"John demonstrates the unique combination of relationship-building and underwriting skills that are invaluable to MRB’s clients," said Susan Haack, chair of the MRB Board of Directors and the search committee. "His vision for the future of MRB is an exciting one, and we expect our current and future clients and business partners will benefit greatly. John and the MRB team will continue to build on our rich legacy and respected brand in the mutual insurance community."

Dorr added: "I am delighted that John has agreed to join us and lead MRB into our second century of providing the best in security and service to our clients. I look forward to working closely with him in the coming months as we execute a smooth and seamless transition."
