Rokstone welcomes Ludo Araujo to D&F Property team

Rokstone, an international specialty re/insurance managing general agent (MGA) and part of Aventum Group, has appointed Ludo Araujo as Senior Underwriter for its Property D&F Division.

Araujo will join Rokstone from Chaucer Syndicates, where he served as Class Underwriter for International Property D&F for the past 15 years.

Based in London and primarily stationed at Rokstone’s box in Lloyd’s, Araujo’s expertise will contribute to strengthening and balancing Rokstone’s existing Property D&F portfolio.

Ian Anson, Managing Director at Rokstone, commented: “We’re excited to welcome Ludo to the team. He brings with him significant experience and relationships and a strong track record – a lead Property D&F underwriter in Lloyd’s for the past 15 years.

“He has a well-honed focus on international markets which will strengthen and balance our existing Property D&F portfolio. We are committed to bringing market leading talent to Rokstone and Ludo is another great hire, attracted by our now established reputation in the market and exciting culture.”

Anson added: “Our ability to underwrite as a lead market, with access to a number of A rated markets that offer a choice of placement solutions, together with fast broker service, will remain a differentiator for Rokstone. Our team is open minded and has the experience to quote a broad range of industry sub-classes.”

Araujo’s appointment adds to Rokstone’s Property D&F underwriting team, now comprising eight members, currently writing USD 300m in gross written premiums (GWP).

As one of the world’s largest MGAs, Rokstone operates offices in the UK, Europe, the USA, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. It specialises in serving international re/insurance brokers in specialty lines, currently underwriting.
