Siena Capital Group, LLC has announced that it has appointed Ridwan Bari as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO), to spearhead technology strategy across the firm\u2019s portfolio companies and lead the development of Caterina, the Group\u2019s insurance-linked securities platform.
\n<\/span>
\n\"RidwanFounded in April 2025 by Luke Meehan (Managing General Partner) and Jack Stone (Partner), Siena Capital Group operates as a private investment office with a focus on special situations.<\/p>\n

Bari\u00a0brings over two decades of experience in financial services technology to the firm. Most recently, he served as Global Head of Fixed Income, Derivatives, and Multi-Asset Technology at S&P Dow Jones Indices, where he led cloud-native platform development and technology transformation initiatives supporting more than $1 trillion in client AUM tracking S&P benchmarks.<\/p>\n

As CTO, Bari will oversee engineering teams collaborating closely with Siena Capital\u2019s specialists in research, catastrophe modeling, and ILS portfolio management. Together, they aim to build the Caterina platform from first principles, leveraging deep domain expertise to address real-market inefficiencies in the ILS market.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always gravitated toward understanding clients\u2019 needs, with a deep desire to learn what \u2018value\u2019 means from the customer\u2019s perspective and how we can leverage technology to deliver that value,\u201d commented Bari.<\/p>\n

\u201cRidwan\u2019s expertise in building enterprise-grade fixed-income, derivatives, and multi-asset products, combined with our key hires in ILS analytics and portfolio management, positions us to deliver scalable solutions to our clients,\u201d said Jack Stone, CEO of Caterina and Partner at Siena Capital Group.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cTo our knowledge, there isn\u2019t anyone of Ridwan\u2019s caliber from traditional finance who has such a specialized focus on the insurance-linked securities market at the moment. His expertise positions us to deliver solutions that will fundamentally change how this industry operates.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRidwan\u2019s appointment demonstrates Siena\u2019s commitment to hiring first-rate talent to create a positive impact in the industries that we choose to serve,\u201d added Luke Meehan, Managing General Partner of Siena Capital Group.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing closer to top-class talent puts us in a great position to recruit from the best educational institutions in the world as we expand aggressively. I\u2019m really excited about this opportunity and look forward to leveraging technology to bring about innovation and efficiency in the ILS ecosystem. Our goal is to build services and infrastructure that will fundamentally enhance transparency and create value for the end investors,\u201d Bari further added.<\/p>\n

Bari\u2019s appointment follows a recent European roadshow, during which leading ILS managers expressed strong interest in the Caterina platform and its potential to meet pressing market needs.<\/p>\n

Artemis previously spoke with Jack Stone to gain a deeper understanding of the company\u2019s plans and what the catastrophe bond market can expect from Siena Capital as it develops its pricing technology and ILS platform.<\/a><\/p>\n
