Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited has appointed David Altmaier to its board as a non-executive director, subject to receipt of any required regulatory approvals.

Mr Altmaier was previously the commissioner of insurance for the state of Florida, leading the office of insurance regulation between April 2016 and December 2022.

He started at the OIR in 2008, serving in a number of increasingly senior roles, including as director of property and casualty financial oversight and, prior to assuming the role of commissioner, as deputy commissioner of property and casualty insurance.

Mr Altmaier has also held multiple leadership positions within the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, most recently as president.

Group chief executive officer and chairman Mark Cloutier said: “I am delighted to welcome David to the board of Aspen.

“His extensive regulatory experience and standing in the industry will make him an excellent addition to our board of directors. I look forward to working with him, and our fellow directors, as we continue to strengthen Aspen’s position within the market.”
