Insurance broker Howden has appointed Matthew Strong as Managing Director, Credit and Political Risks, Howden CAP.
In this role, Strong will be based in London, and he will be a member of Howden CAP’s Executive Committee.
Howden CAP focuses on four service lines: insurance for M&A transactions, Tax & Contingent Risks, Surety and Credit & Political Risks.
Overall, Strong brings 25 years of experience towards the role. Over the course of his industry career, he has built a track record for advising companies on complex risk transfer solutions across Asia, the UK, and the US.
Strong joins Howden CAP from global insurance broker and risk advisor, Marsh, where he most recently served as CEO, Credit Specialties, UK & Ireland.
Before joining Marsh, he spent more than 15 years at JLT, where he served in a range of senior positions, including CEO, Credit, Political and Security Risks.
Howden noted that Strong will commence his employment at Howden CAP once his contractual obligations to his present employer are discharged.
Mary O’Connor, CEO, Howden CAP, said: “We are delighted that Matt has chosen to join Howden CAP. He has exceptional knowledge and expertise, and his combination of leadership, expertise and global outlook will support our ambitious plans to become the market leader in capital and insurance solutions. I look forward to welcoming him to the team.”
Drew Wardrope, Deputy CEO, Howden CAP, commented: “As we look ahead, Matt will bring a fresh perspective to the business and his broad, international experience in credit, political and security risks will be vital as we look to advise our clients on long-term capital solutions as they face an increasingly demanding macroeconomic and political environment. He joins us at a hugely exciting time and I look forward to working with him closely.”
Earlier this week, Howden appointed Christopher Evans as Executive Director, Howden CAP.
