Accelerant Holdings announced that Linda S. Huber will serve as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective March 31, 2026. The appointment follows the resignation of former CFO Jay Green, who stepped down to pursue personal interests after a period of strong financial performance for the company.
Huber brings a decade‑long record of public‑company financial leadership, having served as CFO at FactSet, MSCI, and Moody’s Corporation. Her experience in data‑centric and capital‑intensive environments is expected to reinforce Accelerant’s focus on disciplined financial management and strategic oversight as the company scales its technology‑enabled risk exchange platform.
The transition was part of a previously announced leadership change. Green’s departure after a successful tenure—highlighted by a 52% year‑over‑year increase in Adjusted EBITDA to $71 million and a 24% rise in Exchange Written Premium—positions Huber to build on the momentum and guide the firm through its next growth phase.
Accelerant’s fourth‑quarter 2025 results underscored the company’s accelerating trajectory. Revenue rose 30% to $248 million, driven by a 24% year‑over‑year increase in Exchange Written Premium and a growing share of Third‑Party Direct Written Premium, which accounted for 40% of total premium. Adjusted EBITDA grew 52% YoY, and gross profit surged 63% while revenue grew 51%, lifting the gross margin by 8 percentage points. These gains reflect a favorable mix shift toward higher‑margin third‑party premiums and effective cost control amid expanding scale.
Strategically, Accelerant is accelerating its shift to a capital‑light model, emphasizing fee‑based revenue from third‑party direct premium. The company has also authorized a $200 million share repurchase program and completed its IPO in July 2025, positioning it for continued growth while managing capital efficiency.
"We’re excited to welcome Linda to the team. Linda brings deep experience as a public company CFO across leading data and information services businesses, a strong track record of financial discipline and execution, and is a valuable addition to our already strong finance team," said CEO Jeff Radke. "I am delighted to be part of Accelerant. The company’s unique platform, underpinned by proprietary data and technology, is transforming how specialty insurance is delivered to the market. I look forward to helping Accelerant achieve its goal of becoming the preeminent specialty insurance marketplace," added Huber. Jay Green, in his final remarks, noted that the company’s Q4 results reflected continued strong premium growth, operating leverage, and a shift toward a more capital‑efficient model.
