Ed, the global reinsurance, wholesale and specialty broker, has appointed Assad Ulhaq as senior broker and producer, with immediate effect.

Assad joins Ed from RFIB where he was responsible for the placement of heavy industrial risks in the Middle East. He has 10 years of industry experience, having started his insurance career at Aon in 2010, working on regional property business in the Dubai office.

At Ed, Ulhaq focuses on international property facultative reinsurance, primarily in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Jennifer D'Arcy, head of facultative reinsurance, cited Ulhaq’s wealth of knowledge and global experience in the reinsurance market, and his ability to build key market relationships. “As we expand our international property FAC capabilities and respond to the ever-evolving marketplace, it is vital that we continue to attract top industry talent,” she said.
