Vantage Voices: Peta White, President of Vantage Risk Limited

Reinsurance is a family affair for Bermudian Peta White. Two of her siblings are also in the industry. On a quiet evening in 1993, Peta’s mother picked up their home phone to find an MIT alum on the line. He found the family’s number via the school and explained that he was hiring for a position at CAT Limited, a new insurer.

Quick off the mark, Peta’s mother said that she had not just one but three children at MIT. Pita shared the recruiter’s response, “He literally said that I want to hire all your children.” And all three siblings, including Peta, would graduate from MIT and join the company.
