Aspen Re taps North American property catastrophe leader from Tokio Millennium Re

Bermuda-based Aspen Insurance Holdings has appointed Meredith Head as head of North American property catastrophe at its reinsurance segment Aspen Re. He will be based in Bermuda and join in September 2019.

Head joins Aspen Re from Tokio Millennium Re where she was senior vice president, property catastrophe underwriting. Prior to that, she spent 11 years as vice president and deputy manager, property catastrophe underwriting at Partner Re.

In his new role, Head will work together with Andrew Mellor, head of international catastrophe, and lead Aspen Re’s property catastrophe treaty reinsurance strategy and Bermuda’s property treaty business.

Head will report to Christian Dunleavy, chief underwriting officer of Aspen Re and chief executive officer of Aspen Bermuda.

Dunleavy said: “I am delighted to welcome Meredith to Aspen Re. Her proven track record and deep relationships with brokers and clients, spanning over 20 years, will be a fantastic addition to our strong team.

“This appointment is testament to Aspen Re’s ability to attract and retain the very best talent and I look forward to working with Meredith, Andrew and the rest of the team as we continue to develop our property catastrophe business and serve our customers’ needs with rated and ILS solutions in conjunction with Aspen Capital Markets.”
