In his new role, Aspinall will be based in London and report to Chris Fenn, Global Head of Marine, SiriusPoint.
He will be responsible for establishing SiriusPoint’s new Fine Art & Specie offering and building a disciplined portfolio across high-value asset risks.
The business unit focuses on fine art institutions, galleries, private collections, luxury retailers, auction houses, and secure transportation providers.
Aspinall has over 35 years of experience in the Lloyd’s and London insurance markets, specialising in complex international fine art, specie, and high-value risks.
Most recently, he served at Liberty Specialty Markets as Senior Underwriter – Fine Art & Specie. Prior to this, Aspinall held Senior Underwriting roles at Travelers Syndicate 5000.
David Govrin, Group President and Chief Executive Officer, Global Reinsurance & London Market Specialty at SiriusPoint, commented, “Adding Mark to the team reflects our continued focus on building out targeted specialty capabilities where we see clear opportunities for well-priced business and profitable growth.
“Mark’s deep technical expertise and strong broker relationships will be critical as we establish a scalable Fine Art & Specie offering within our specialty platform, which complements adjacent Marine classes like cargo and war, political violence and terrorism.”
Aspinall’s appointment follows that of Ed Winter and Paul Beattie, who lead the reinsurer’s new Crisis Solutions offering, and Ella Stevenson, Crisis Solutions Underwriter. The team will focus initially on war, political violence and terrorism risks.
