Erin Osborne named Head of U.S. Excess Casualty, Ascot

Ascot Group, the global specialty insurance firm, has appointed Erin Osborne to the role of Head of U.S. Excess Casualty, where she will assume full management and leadership responsibility for the business unit.

The role will also see her lead the strategic planning for future growth across the market segment.

In the role, she will be based in New York, and she will continue to report to Jeff Canfield, U.S. Head of Casualty.

Before she joined Ascot’s U.S. Excess Casualty team as Vice President, Northeast, in January of this year, Osborne most recently spent time serving as Managing Director for Excess Casualty at Nationwide.

During her time serving in that role, she helped to develop and grow the company’s retail Excess Casualty book.

In addition, she also previously managed the National Excess Casualty portfolio at Swiss Re Corporate Solutions.

Addressing the appointment, Canfield said: “Erin’s appointment further underscores Ascot’s continued commitment to – and strength in – the Excess Casualty market, a segment for which we’ve added five talented and experienced underwriters year-to-date. Since joining Ascot, Erin has proven herself both a shrewd underwriter and a trusted leader to our underwriters stationed in key client markets across the country, including New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Charlotte, and Hartford.”

Matt Kramer, Ascot U.S. Chief Executive Officer, said: “At Ascot, we continue to both recruit and develop top-tier talent who have the specialized expertise to meet the ever-evolving needs of our clients. Erin’s promotion to lead the U.S. Excess Casualty team is representative of our commitment to both our employees and our clients.”

In April, Ascot announced the establishment of a new parametric insurance capability to complement its Property offering.
