Prior to joining Everest Re, Maddineni was the CIO of commercial North America at Chubb, where he led technology for commercial insurance, overseeing a team of over 650 global technology professionals. Maddineni has also held senior technology, applications, and client experience roles at leading global organisations including S&P Global, Bank of New York Mellon, and State Street Corporation.
After thirty successful years in the financial services and insurance industries, Maddineni then joined Everest Re as SVP and global CIO for insurance and reinsurance systems. He will now succeed Terry Walker, who is set to retire, as Everest Re’s CIO.

Hemal Patel, Deputy CIO – Corporate Applications & Services will lead Everest Re’s Corporate Systems, Shared Services, and Portfolio Management, while Arron Lamp, Deputy CIO – Architecture, Data, and Analytics will lead IT Innovation and Digital Transformation. Both will report to Maddineni and will be responsible for advancing Everest Re’s long-term technology strategy and goals.
