Jonathan will be running Ardonagh Specialty’s Bermudian business operations alongside CEO Chris Bonard and building out Inver Re’s retro capabilities.

Chris Bonard commented: “It’s great to have Jonathan on board to help us expand our retro team, drive new business – and continue to build a responsive and agile option for clients. He’s well known and respected across the industry and brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise that will help us achieve our ambitious growth plans.”
