Specialist re/insurer Apollo has announced the appointment of Angus Winther as the new Chair of the Apollo Syndicate Management Limited (ASML) Board, pending regulatory approval.
This move comes as Julian Cusack, ASML Chair, retires from his position after eight years.
Cusack, however, will continue to contribute his expertise and leadership as the Chair of Apollo Group Holdings Limited (AGHL).
Winther brings to the table more than three decades of experience in the financial services and insurance sectors. He co-founded Lexicon Partners, an investment banking advisory firm based in London, which was subsequently acquired by Evercore in 2011.
Winther continued his association with Evercore as a senior adviser until 2016. Prior to that, he held a partnership role at Phoenix Securities and initiated his career at Chase Manhattan Bank.
Currently, Winther serves as a non-executive director of Ecclesiastical Insurance Office plc and its parent company, Benefact Group plc. He has previously held a non-executive director position at Hiscox Syndicates Limited.
“I am pleased to welcome Angus to the ASML Board. His expertise across insurance and corporate finance will play an important role as our business continues to grow in new and existing areas. I would like to thank Julian for his support and leadership over the last 8 years. Julian has played a key role in the success of our business and we are delighted that we will retain his input and leadership as Chair of the AGHL Board,” David Ibeson, Apollo Group CEO, said.
