Kyle Menendez

Managing Director of Howden Reinsurance

Kyle Menendez, serving as the Managing Director of Howden Reinsurance (formerly TigerRisk), has long been recognized as a key player in the reinsurance industry. With a reputation built on strategic insight and an in-depth understanding of risk management, Menendez has been a driving force behind numerous significant reinsurance deals. However, his once-stellar career now finds itself marred by grave allegations connected to the Lighthouse Insurance collapse.

​

At the center of the controversy, Menendez stands accused of actively participating in the concealment of critical financial information about Lighthouse Insurance from investors. Leveraging his position as a high-ranking executive, he allegedly played a pivotal role in disseminating false assurances about the company's financial stability. These actions purportedly led to substantial investments based on misleading data, significantly contributing to the eventual financial downfall of Lighthouse Insurance and leaving a trail of devastated stakeholders in its wake.

​

The ramifications of these alleged actions have been nothing short of catastrophic. In the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, thousands of policyholders across Florida and Louisiana found themselves in an unthinkable situation - facing the dual challenge of natural disaster recovery and the sudden loss of their expected insurance coverage. The misrepresentations allegedly perpetrated by Menendez and his colleagues left many individuals and families to confront overwhelming financial losses without the safety net their insurance policies were meant to provide.
