Aspen Re hires Ironshore casualty exec

Aspen Re, the reinsurance segment of Aspen Insurance Holdings, has appointed Jamie Lewis as head of its casualty reinsurance business in London.

He joins from Ironshore Europe, where he was president responsible for building IronHealth’s brand in the London market as well as developing its international healthcare capabilities.

Lewis will be responsible for developing Aspen Re’s book of casualty reinsurance treaty and facultative business written from London, including both the US and international casualty portfolios. The London-based underwriters for the various casualty lines will report to him.

Peter Emblin, managing director, head of casualty & specialty reinsurance, said: “Jamie has a wealth of relevant reinsurance experience, particularly in all sectors of professional liability and he is ideally qualified to lead our casualty reinsurance business in London. This is an important market segment for us and we are strongly positioned to continue servicing our business, brokers and clients.

“We are investing in our casualty team in London to ensure that we remain a leading provider of reinsurance solutions there, recognising the importance of London market distribution. I am delighted to welcome Jamie to the team.”

Before working for Ironshore, he was active underwriter at Renaissance Reinsurance Syndicate Management (Lloyd’s Syndicate 1458) and prior to that, he was vice president with Renaissance Reinsurance in Bermuda. He had previously held senior underwriting roles with SJ Helson (Lloyd’s), SJO Catlin (Lloyd’s) and various others in the London market.
