Catlin veteran to come onboard as Asta chair

Paul Jardine, who was with Catlin from 2001, has been named as independent non-executive chairman of Asta Managing Agency.

The former Equitas chief actuary will be joined by Bob Stevenson, who is coming onboard the third-party managing agent as independent non-executive director. Stevenson, managing director of RAS Advisory, brings about four decades of industry expertise from the likes of Lloyd’s of London, Zurich, and AIG.

“We are excited to have these two highly-experienced professionals join the Asta Managing Agency board,” commented chief executive Julian Tighe. “After more than a decade at the Corporation and another 25 years in the market, Bob has terrific insight into Lloyd’s and the international insurance environment.

“Paul needs no introduction; as a chief architect both of Equitas and Catlin, he is a leading figure in the Lloyd’s market. Their knowledge and expertise are unmatched and will be invaluable as Asta continues to build its reputation as the leading managing agent for building and managing businesses at Lloyd’s.”

Both appointments are subject to regulatory approval.
