Aspen Insurance Holdings has hired seasoned commercial property underwriter Graeme Owens (pictured) as head of the company’s UK business & community property team.

Based in London, Owens joined on October 9 from Swiss Re Corporate Solutions. He most recently served as global standard property products director, bringing more than three decades of industry experience to Aspen. His credentials include roles at Allianz, AIG, and Allied World.

Owens succeeded Adrian Jackson, who recently retired.

“With Adrian’s retirement, Graeme’s appointment ensures our brokers and clients have a seamless transition, and they will continue to enjoy the high level of customer service and underwriting-led solutions they have come to expect over the years,” UK property & construction head Paul Gatland said in a release.

“Graeme’s deep understanding of the commercial property environment and impressive career within specialty insurance will be invaluable as we continue to grow Aspen’s strong reputation in the market. I am excited to have Graeme join Aspen and welcome him to our team.”
