Aspen expands cyber risk management leadership with key hire

Aspen Insurance Holdings has tapped a senior executive, formerly of Marsh, Verisk, Ryan Specialty and Crum & Forster, to lead its cyber risk management platform globally and strengthen its capabilities in this line.

Mike Rastigue (pictured) has joined Aspen Insurance as vice president, cyber risk management.

Rastigue has more than 20 years of cyber risk management experience from roles including vice president, cyber risk practice, at Marsh, and director of cyber solutions at Verisk. He was also a broker at RT Specialty and, most recently, cyber solutions team leader at Crum & Forster.

Based in Aspen’s Chicago office, he will lead the company’s cyber risk management platform globally, which was launched in 2019 to assist our insureds in the prevention and detection of, and response to, privacy and network security incidents.

Bobby Bianconi, Aspen Insurance head of US technology and cyber, said: “I’m delighted that Mike has joined Aspen’s Cyber team. We continue to invest in leading industry talent, and having Mike on board is a testament to our ability to continue delivering best-in-class service levels alongside proven technical expertise. His extensive background in cyber risk management further strengthens our guidance for brokers and their clients, and I am excited about the insights and deep sector knowledge that Mike brings to our global team.”
