SEC filingAMERISAFE, Inc. appointed Guillermo A. Ramos as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective May 7, 2026, with a three-year employment agreement, $500,000 minimum annual base salary, $1,000,000 restricted stock unit award, and 12-month severance upon termination without cause.
The appointment of Guillermo A. Ramos as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer represents a high-materiality leadership transition for AMERISAFE, directly impacting financial stewardship, strategic planning, and investor communications. As CFO, Ramos assumes responsibility for financial reporting, capital management, risk oversight, and execution of the company’s capital return strategy — all central to AMERISAFE’s disciplined, underwriting-led business model in high-hazard workers’ compensation. His background spans finance strategy at Hiscox US and global consumer and FP&A leadership at Equifax, suggesting expertise in data-driven decision-making and scalable financial infrastructure — capabilities relevant to AMERISAFE’s growth in 27 states and its focus on small-to-mid-sized hazardous industry employers. The structured compensation package — including a $500,000 minimum base salary, $1,000,000 RSU grant, and 12-month severance — signals both competitive positioning and alignment with long-term shareholder value creation. The three-year initial term with automatic renewal reinforces stability during a period where consistent financial leadership supports execution against stated strategic priorities, including disciplined pricing, loss ratio management, and selective market expansion. No interim or outgoing CFO is disclosed, implying a planned, non-disruptive succession.
