Hannover Re’s US life reinsurance arm, Hannover Life Reassurance Company of America, has named Kelly Rabin as Senior Vice President and Chief Actuary, effective 1 May 2026.
She succeeds John Di Meo, who transitioned to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer on 1 January 2026, marking a structured leadership handover within the company’s finance and actuarial functions.
In her new role, Rabin will oversee a wide range of actuarial responsibilities, including regulatory reporting, financial reporting and valuation (FRV), financial planning and analysis (FP&A), actuarial modelling, and assumption setting.
Rabin joined Hannover Re in 2021 as Vice President and Actuary, where she led structured reinsurance transactions and contributed to the Life Solutions new business development team. Prior to that, she held senior actuarial roles at Voya Financial, focusing on valuation, cash flow testing, statutory and GAAP reporting, and the implementation of LDTI requirements.
Earlier in her career, she founded an independent actuarial consultancy and served as President and Chief Operating Officer at Magistree.
John Di Meo said:
“Kelly brings a wealth of experience, leadership, and insight to this role. Her deep understanding of our business and commitment to excellence make her exceptionally well-suited to lead our actuarial function and support our continued growth.”
The appointment reinforces Hannover Re US’s focus on strengthening actuarial leadership as life reinsurance markets continue to evolve, particularly in structured transactions and financial reporting complexity.
