Mark Hvidsten Email & Phone Number

As a high energy, achievement-driven executive with 30 years of global experience in the reinsurance marketplace, I believe my strengths and success as a leader are attributable to my curiosity, keen analytical, technical, and financial skills, a global and strategic perspective, and an ability to drive strategies and transform them into institutional value. I have tremendous drive and determination, and; having served in many roles in the organization, I am operational by nature with support from significant experience in business development and sales.A gifted presenter, I have championed numerous transformational change initiatives that result in significant and consistent impact and growth on market, operational, and financial performance. Colleagues rely on my expertise and thought leadership in the reinsurance, alternative risk transfer, and ILS/capital markets space. I’ve been fortunate to have pioneered successful operations that were in mature, start-up, and turn-around cycles, each time growing revenue and customer loyalty exponentially in the process. In addition to being passionate about creating value, I also enjoy being known as a leader who is a team player and committed to establishing and sustaining a high-performing workplace and a culture of success. I have my multicultural background of living and working on three continents to thank for that. I also value alliance-building and feel I have superior skills in managing complex, large client relationships. My experience leading and participating on Boards has given me opportunity to advise executive management with insightful, value-added inquiry as well as exposure to optimal governance strategies.
