Aspen said it is rebuilding its actuarial function as part of a wider operational, strategic and cultural transformation

Cloutier said: “With three decades of actuarial and non-life expertise, [Miller] is the right person to support our evolving actuarial function at a time when risk management and pricing accuracy forms a key focus for Aspen to become a top quartile specialty re/insurer.”
