This appointment will see Maddineni succeed Terry Walker, who is set to retire by the end of the first quarter of 2023.

As group CIO, Maddineni will be reporting to Jim Williamson, Everest group chief operating officer.

“Srini is an accomplished executive with significant experience delivering transformative technology capabilities on a global scale,” said Williamson. “He has made a meaningful impact as global CIO of reinsurance and insurance, having led all aspects of systems development across our global businesses. I look forward to collaborating with Srini and his talented team to drive our technology strategy forward.”

Everest also announced the promotion of two IT executives to deputy CIO roles who will both report to Maddineni:

• Hemal Patel, deputy CIO – corporate applications & services, will head Everest’s corporate systems, shared services and portfolio management
• Arron Lamp, deputy CIO – architecture, data, and analytics will head IT innovation and digital transformation

“Today’s increasingly complex risk environment demands cutting-edge technology to help our clients navigate their most pressing challenges,” said Juan C. Andrade, Everest president and CEO. “Terry has built an exceptional technology function and we are grateful for his outstanding contributions over the past several years. I am confident that Srini, along with his best-in-class team, is perfectly suited to advance our global IT capabilities and vision for the future.”
