Holborn Corporation, a reinsurance brokerage firm, has promoted Stephanie Rabin (pictured) to the role of chief operating officer. The company’s board of directors unanimously approved the motion at its most recent meeting.
According to a news release, Rabin previously served as Holborn’s senior vice president and chief strategy officer. In her new role, she will continue to report to Adam Manus, Holborn’s president and chief brokerage officer.
The promotion is a nod to Rabin’s “extensive professional accomplishments, industry expertise, and wide-ranging contributions,” the company stated.
“Stephanie is among the most well-rounded, talented, and versatile employees we have ever had,” said Frank Harrison, Holborn’s CEO and chairman of the board. “Her promotion and new role is not only well deserved, but also puts her in a position to deliver ever greater value to our clients and to our colleagues.”
Rabin has over 30 years of experience in the industry. Before joining Holborn in 2016, she held leadership roles at Aon and Guy Carpenter. Most recently, she was a COO leading operations at Aspen Insurance US.
Rabin holds a bachelor of science degree in mathematics and statistics from McGill University and a master of arts degree in industrial-organizational psychology from New York University. She is also an associate in the Casualty Actuarial Society and recently chaired the Casualty Actuaries in Reinsurance.
The announcement comes as the reinsurance market experiences a shift toward a more stable, buyer-friendly environment. According to a mid-year report by Aon, the first half of 2025 saw increased capacity from traditional reinsurers and insurance-linked securities (ILS) markets. While the market remains profitable, analysts at AM Best noted signs of modest rate softening, particularly in property reinsurance.
Reinsurers are increasingly diversifying their business models, moving away from a sole reliance on property catastrophe risk.
