Rokstone elevates new talent to group managing director

Speciality re/insurance  MGA Rokstone, part of Aventum Group, has appointed a new group managing director who will work closely with its CEO and CUO to drive profitable growth across the company.

Ian Anson (pictured) joined the group last year as a portfolio manager and has swiftly been promoted to managing director in just 18 months.

Before joining Aventum, he spent six years at Alesco Risk Management Services where he was initially a placing broker for four years before being promoted to associate partner in 2017.

James Potter, chief executive of Rokstone, said: “When Ian joined us just 18 months ago to take up a Portfolio Manager role, we knew then that we were securing one of the brightest new talents in the market. He has already delivered multiple commercial growth opportunities and aptly demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities. It was soon clear to us that his advanced commercial, strategic and critical thinking would make him the perfect candidate.

"As Managing Director he will be a driving force on our journey to become the best global (re)insurance specialty business in the world.”
