Reinsurance Group of America (RGA) has appointed Ryan Krueger (pictured above) as senior vice president of investor relations, effective Jan. 5, 2026.
He will lead the company’s engagement with the investment community and report to executive vice president and chief financial officer Axel André. Krueger will succeed Jeff Hopson, who has led RGA’s investor relations function since 2013 and plans to retire in 2026.
RGA said Krueger will work closely with the executive leadership team to communicate the firm’s strategic priorities and financial performance to shareholders and analysts. The investor relations function will remain the primary touchpoint for institutional investors and other market participants following the group’s life and health reinsurance business.
Krueger has covered the US life insurance sector for nearly two decades as a sell-side equity research analyst. He spent more than 10 years at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods as managing director for equity research focused on US life insurers and was previously a partner at Dowling & Partners Securities.
He holds a BS in finance, summa cum laude, from the University of Connecticut and is a Chartered Financial Analyst. RGA said his experience combines sector-specific expertise with longstanding relationships across the investor and analyst community.
“Ryan is a seasoned and well-respected financial analyst with a strong reputation among investors, analysts, and industry stakeholders,” André said.
Krueger’s “impressive track record of engaging with the investor community gives us confidence that he will drive deeper understanding and clarity of RGA’s strategy and performance,” and said he looks forward to working with him “as we continue to strengthen our relationships with investors and advance our strategic objectives.”
The appointment comes in a year when RGA has also moved to deepen its presence in key financial centers, including the opening of its first New York City office in Park Avenue Tower in Midtown Manhattan.
Krueger’s arrival will also follow a period of strong reported results, with RGA recently announcing a record third quarter for adjusted operating income excluding notable items of US$424 million, or US$6.37 per diluted share, up from US$410 million, or US$6.13 per share, a year earlier.
The quarter was driven by contributions from Asia Traditional and the EMEA and US financial solutions businesses and included about US$1.7 billion of capital deployment, largely tied to an in-force transaction with subsidiaries of Equitable.
