HAMILTON, Bermuda, Nov 11, 2008 (A. M. Best via COMTEX) -- MDENL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Art Raschbaum, former GMAC Insurance Holdings president, has been named chief executive officer of Maiden Holdings as former CEO Max Caviet stepped down.

Raschbaum also served as president of GMAC Re and general director of risk management for General Motors, according to a company statement.

Caviet will stay with Maiden as a director of Maiden Holdings and return as president of AmTrust International Insurance, a position he previously held, the company said.

Bermuda-based Maiden Insurance (NASDAQ: MHLD) said earlier this month that its U.S. subsidiary has acquired the reinsurance operations of GMAC Insurance. The acquired business will be known as Maiden Re, and based in Mount Laurel, N.J. (BestWire, Nov. 3, 2008).

In addition, John Marshaleck was appointed president of Maiden Re. Marshaleck has been chief financial officer and chief operating officer with the company. Karen Schmitt will become chief operating officer with the reinsurer.

"We believe that the combination of Maiden's existing business with GMAC Re will create a dynamic specialty reinsurer able to grow and expand its market activities," said Barry Zyskind, chairman of Maiden Holdings.

Maiden Insurance Co. was formed in June 2007 under the laws of Bermuda as a property/casualty reinsurer focused on primary insurers specializing in products offering coverage at low limits, or insuring risks that are believed to be low hazard, predictable and generally not susceptible to catastrophic claims.

Maiden Insurance Co. and GMAC Insurance Group both currently have a Best's Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent).
