At-Bay appoints new insurance president

Insurtech At-Bay has announced the appointment of Ken Riegler (pictured above) as president of At-Bay Insurance.

Riegler brings more than 25 years of experience in commercial underwriting, alternative risk management, and distribution. His most recent role was as president of North American general insurance, retail, and field operations at AIG, where he managed a diverse, multibillion-dollar portfolio including property, casualty, financial lines, and specialty.

He previously served as president of North American casualty for XL Catlin (now AXA XL) and as president of the client group for ACE Group North America (now Chubb).

At-Bay's CEO and co-founder, Rotem Iram, expressed interest in Riegler's hiring, citing his experience in growing successful insurance organizations and products as critical to At-Bay's growth and development in the insurance sector.

In his new role, Riegler will focus on developing At-Bay's position in the excess and surplus (E&S) insurance market and strengthening relationships with partners and clients.

He will also work alongside Kristie Felton, head of insurance, who will continue to oversee underwriting, partnerships, and field operations, supporting the company's expansion efforts.

Riegler commented on his new position, emphasizing At-Bay's reputation for innovation and performance in the industry. He highlighted the company's integration of AI, machine learning technology, and cybersecurity technology as key features that position At-Bay as a leading provider of cyber insurance and InsurSec solutions.

Additionally, Riegler will join the board of directors of At-Bay Specialty Insurance Company, an E&S subsidiary.

Early last year, the insurtech made headlines when it announced that it had become a fully-stacked insurance company, thanks to its acquisition of At-Bay Specialty Insurance Company from XL Insurance America.

Based in Delaware, At-Bay Specialty Insurance Company is a P&C excess and excess lines insurance company licensed in 44 states.

The move to a full-stack carrier will allow it to better serve policyholders and accelerate the expansion of its planned product into more specialty lines, At-Bay said.
