Aspen appoints Hamilton talent as new head of legal

Bermuda-based re/insurer  Aspen Group has appointed a new group head of legal. The executive recently joined the company from Hamilton Insurance Group.

From January, David Amaro (pictured) will join its executive committee and take on secretarial responsibilities, working closely with the group’s executive chairman and group chief executive officer Mark Cloutier and the non-executive directors.

Based in the Bermuda office, Amaro will report to Cloutier.

Amaro joined Aspen Bermuda as its general counsel in July and has led work on coordinating credit arrangements as part of the group’s balance sheet optimisation initiative and helped streamline governance processes related to the Aspen Bermuda Board, working with chief underwriting officer Christian Dunleavy.

Before joining Aspen, Amaro spent seven years with Hamilton Insurance Group and Hamilton Re, most recently, until June as vice president and associate general counsel for Hamilton Re. Prior to that, he was an in-house solicitor with Ark Syndicate Management in London.
