Apryle Oswald (pictured) will be based in the Ariel Re Bermuda office. She will lead a team with responsibility for continuing to provide the company with leading edge analytics to promote superior underwriting capabilities. She will also support Ariel Re’s global data management and governance, research and develop new data analytics capabilities and expand the company’s current analytics abilities by leveraging Ariel Re’s proprietary, cutting-edge portfolio software system to service our clients, regulators and investors.
