Vantage taps Marc Grandisson as Executive Chairman and David Gansberg as CEO
The executive changes come as Howard Hughes completed its $2.1 billion Vantage acquisition in June 2026, and Greg Hendrick’s CEO role ends once non-competition obligations expire by June 2027.
Howard Hughes Holdings has appointed Marc Grandisson as Executive Chairman and David Gansberg as Chief Executive Officer of Vantage Group Holdings, effective immediately, Reinsurance News reports. Grandisson, a former leader at Arch Capital Group, previously joined Arch’s founding team in 2001 and served as Arch CEO from 2018 until his retirement in 2024.
The changes follow Howard Hughes’ completion of its $2.1 billion acquisition of Vantage in June 2026. In April, Howard Hughes welcomed Grandisson to its board, and today the firm named him to lead Vantage’s executive oversight as Executive Chairman.
Gansberg will take over as CEO from Greg Hendrick, who has served as Vantage CEO since the company’s co-founding in 2020. Hendrick’s transition is tied to non-competition obligations that are not expected to end until June 2027.
Reinsurance News also notes Grandisson’s track record at Arch, where he led the company during a period that generated total shareholder return of 298%, or 23.2% per annum, according to the article. Ackman, executive chairman of Howard Hughes, said Grandisson and Gansberg are positioned to guide Vantage into its next stage, while Hendrick is described as having built the specialty insurance and reinsurance operation over the past six years.
