Nate Reznicek Joins International Re as Head of US Distribution

Specialist captive insurance and reinsurance managing general agent International RE (I–RE) has appointed Nate Reznicek head of US distribution.

In the position, Mr. Reznicek will oversee the growth of I–RE and its RE–PAID product in the United States.

Mr. Reznicek has built an award-winning career in the captive insurance industry, serving as a leading advocate for midmarket businesses' captive insurance companies and providing expert consulting and advisory services to independent brokers throughout the United States.

Most recently, Mr. Reznicek was director of operations at CIC Services LLC, where he led the captive insurance practice. He serves on a number of industry boards and committees and is a member of the faculty of the International Center for Captive Insurance Education.

"Nate Reznicek is a tireless advocate for captive ownership in the United States, to which I–RE is equally committed," Andy Jeckells, co-CEO of I–RE, said in a statement. "We work with high-performing midmarket businesses, for which our RE–PAID product has been specifically designed, giving business owners access to the same powerful tools to underwrite their own commercial property and casualty insurance whilst retaining profits as Fortune 500 companies. Nate will further our ambitious growth program throughout the United States. I'm delighted to have him on board and look forward to working with him."

"I was immediately impressed with I–RE's unique RE–PAID product, which allows up to 50 percent of premium spend to be retained for commercial property and casualty lines with A-rated insurers," Mr. Reznicek said in the statement. "I look forward to introducing our turn-key all-in-one integrated product to brokers and captive managers, helping them to diversify their book, expand their offerings, and create significant competitive advantage."

London-based I–RE is a captive insurance specialist and a Lloyd's coverholder with A-rated capacity. It provides innovative insurance and reinsurance solutions to midmarket captive insurance companies.
