Jonathan Hughes has joined TigerRisk as a partner within the firm’s London-based retro team.

He moves to the reinsurance intermediary from Aon, where he most recently served as a senior broker specialising in retro and other protections for Lloyd’s syndicates.

Before that, he was a senior vice president and actuarial lead for the London market specialty lines division at Axis.

In his new role, Hughes will report to Alex Bridges, head of TigerRisk’s retro team.

TigerRisk CEO Rod Fox said: “Jonathan has a wealth of experience being one of the industry’s foremost retrocession specialists.

“He will be an invaluable asset to TigerRisk, and more importantly, our clients.”

Bridges added: “We’re very excited to have Jonathan join the team at a time when our clients need the best-in-class thought leadership and innovation around new retro products.”

Hughes commented: “Joining TigerRisk, an innovative and creative organisation, will enable me to develop the kind of bespoke programs clients need in this marketplace.”
