Philipp Kusche named Chairman of Howden Capital Markets & Advisory Europe in expanded role

Howden Capital Markets & Advisory (HCMA), the capital markets and insurance-linked securities (ILS) arm of the re/insurance broker, has announced that Philipp Kusche will expand his role as Global Head of ILS to include Chairman of HCMA Europe.

In this expanded role, Kusche will further support both global and local expertise within the broader HCMA team, including its UK operations.

Europe remains a strategic priority for Howden Re and HCMA, with ILS playing a critical role in driving success and growth in the region. Kusche will continue to be based in New York, focusing on all aspects of the ILS business, including the U.S., which remains vital to the capital markets.

Kusche, who has been with Howden for over eight years, previously spent 13 years at Swiss Re, most recently as Head of the ILS Structuring and Origination Team.

Additionally, Mitchell Rosenberg will join Kusche as Co-Head of Global ILS. Rosenberg has served as Managing Director at HCMA for the past two years and previously held roles as Managing Director at Aon Securities and AVP at Swiss Re.

Jarad Madea, CEO of HCMA, expressed enthusiasm for the appointments, saying, “Congratulations to Philipp on this expanded role, which will see him bring more support to our European clients while continuing his Global ILS focus. I would also like to congratulate Mitchell on his appointment as we continue enhancing our ILS franchise. With expanding our ILS leadership team, we are well-positioned to support our clients and investors globally.”

Kusche commented, “With ILS increasingly important to client discussions, I look forward to supporting our global efforts and our growing activities in Europe. I’m also pleased to announce Mitchell’s promotion in our growing ILS platform, which will allow us to further grow and serve our clients globally.”

Rosenberg added, “The ILS market continues to present significant opportunities for (re)insurers, MGAs, and investors. I am honored and excited to work alongside Philipp, a well-recognized industry leader, and our outstanding global team as we deliver industry-leading capabilities, value, and insights to clients across all areas of the ILS market, including catastrophe bonds, sidecars, and broader fundraising initiatives.”
