Calderwood bolsters team, targets captives board support

Calderwood, a Cayman Islands boutique fund governance firm, has expanded its senior team with two key appointments, one of which has a background in captive insurance and will seek appointments to the boards of captives.

Jason Perras and Rena Strecker both join as independent directors. Perras joins Calderwood with experience in the investment fund space. Previously, Perras was Head of Client Operations and Executive Director at MUFG Alternative Fund Services (Cayman).

Strecker is highly experienced in the insurance and reinsurance industry. As an independent director with Calderwood, she will accept appointments on the boards of captive, insurance and reinsurance companies, advising on financial, operational and corporate governance matters.

With over 20 years’ experience in the sector, Strecker has held a number of senior positions within property & casualty insurance/reinsurance, life & pension and captive insurance.
