Commenting on the new development, Milner said: “Andrew’s appointment demonstrates the importance we place in maintaining strong risk management and governance arrangements and our commitment to continuing to build strong and open relationships with our regulators.

“Andrew’s deep understanding of the regulatory environment and impressive network within the insurance industry will be invaluable as we continue to build Aspen’s strong reputation in the market”.

Kane said: “Our Lloyd’s Syndicate and UK business are a key part of Aspen’s vision to become a top quartile (re)insurer and deliver value to stakeholders and investors, so I’m delighted that we were able to attract such a high profile and talented chief risk officer.”
