Aspen insurance segment sees management changes

David Cohen, president and chief underwriting officer of Aspen Insurance Holdings, is now leading the day-to-day management of the company’s insurance business, reporting to group chief executive officer, Chris O’Kane.

At the same time Stephen Postlewhite, chief executive officer of Aspen Insurance, is leaving the business with immediate effect.

“David joined Aspen in November 2015,” said O’Kane. “Since his arrival, he has upgraded the underwriting talent in our Insurance segment, is refocusing our underwriting book and is positioning Aspen Insurance for success in the next stage of its development. David is a strong and well-respected leader and I am confident that as we move forward, he will drive improvements across our Insurance business.

“Steve has made a significant contribution to Aspen over the last 15 years and I would like to wish him all the best for the future.”
