(“Malibu Life” or the “Company”) today announced key leadership appointments to
accelerate growth and strengthen its insurance and reinsurance platform. Robert
Pavleszek has been appointed Chief Operating Officer, and Robert Hou, previously

These appointments reflect Malibu Life’s continued investment in leadership with

integrate Malibu Life’s operating entities and support the buildout of an
industry-leading retail business.
Mr. Pavleszek brings an extensive track record in strategy, corporate
development, and operating platform transformation. His experience includes
senior management roles at leading mutual insurers such as USAA Life Company and
Guardian Life, as well as sponsor-backed platforms, where he helped drive
profitable growth, expand into new markets, and modernize operating environments
through technology and data-driven initiatives.
Robert Hou Appointed Head of Reinsurance
Mr. Hou, who previously served as Malibu Life’s Chief Operating Officer while
acting as Third Point’s Head of Insurance Solutions, will now lead the continued
expansion of the Company’s reinsurance business, a core strategic growth engine.
In this role, he will focus on advancing institutional client solutions and
scaling Malibu Life’s liability-driven investment platform.
Mr. Hou has played a central role in the establishment of Malibu Life, including
the launch of Malibu Life Reinsurance SPC and the acquisition of TruSpire
Retirement Insurance Company. He will now focus on expanding Malibu Life’s
presence in the asset-intensive reinsurance market, partnering with insurers to
develop customized capital solutions through flow and block reinsurance
transactions, while collaborating on asset strategies that enhance capital
efficiency and asset-liability alignment.
Malibu Life will leverage its strategic partnership with Third Point to deliver
differentiated asset origination and portfolio construction capabilities
designed to optimize capital, manage risk, and align assets with long-duration
liabilities.
A Managing Director at Third Point and Head of Insurance Solutions, Mr. Hou
brings significant experience in insurance asset management, structuring
insurance solutions, and building institutionally scaled platforms. His prior
roles at Blackstone and other leading financial institutions focused on
insurance portfolio management, corporate development, and M&A.
