About

Jennifer Parets has shown great talent and diligence in not only her legal work but also in enriching her team’s ability. Her changes have been widespread and holistic, producing results across the company. She has thrived in bolstering the diversity and regulatory reporting of the work force, which has in turn enhanced the value-added proposition to a more tailored legal service for their business clients. From a legal point of view, Jennifer assisted the company in the recovery efforts which allowed them to emerge from the peak of the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009. She then repositioned the group starting in 2011 through the creation of a new listed holding company and the related transformation of three separate stand-alone core business units; reinsurance, corporate solutions and admin RE. Jennifer concedes that her primary areas of focus has been to, ‘build the talent internally, moving away from the silo specialist areas to a more modern and adaptable technical-expert approach that provides a wider spectrum of coverage for the team’s areas of responsibilities’. Jennifer notes that she ‘accomplished this quite effectively through active rotations within the team and partnering up across technical sub-teams to work more collaboratively. This in turns drives diversity of skill sets’. She has also had a substantial contribution to improve the operational platform through IT solutions that have facilitated sharing information more readily and to generate reports that provide greater insight on the areas covered by the team.
