Athene Holding has announced that Martin Klein (pictured above), its executive vice president and chief financial officer, plans to retire.
In a news release, Athene stated that it will begin a search for a new CFO, with Klein remaining in his current role until his successor is appointed to ensure a smooth transition. Following the transition, Klein will serve as a senior adviser, continuing to provide guidance to the firm.
Klein, who joined Athene as CFO in 2015, has more than 30 years of experience in the financial services industry.
At Athene, he has overseen financial management functions, including finance, reporting, tax, actuarial, internal audit, and risk, while also supporting strategic decision-making across the organization.
“I want to thank Marty for his many contributions to Athene’s success,” said Jim Belardi, CEO of Athene. “He has brought strong financial leadership, dedication and expertise to the CFO role, and has been an important part of the executive team during his tenure of nearly 10 years.”
Before joining Athene, Klein was CFO at Genworth Financial Inc, where he started in 2011 and briefly served as acting president and CEO in 2012. His prior experience includes a role as managing director at Barclays after its acquisition of Lehman Brothers’ US operations, where he led the insurance and pension solutions group.
In January 2024, Athene completed its redomiciling to Delaware from Bermuda, following its 2022 acquisition by Apollo Global Management Inc.
