Ep 123 Ryan Mather CEO Ariel Re: Meet the New Guard

Today’s guest is someone very respected in the industry but who
hasn’t spent much time in the limelight – until recently that is.
Ariel Re’s CEO Ryan Mather now represents part of the significant
new capital that has come into the sector since the global market
turn accelerated in the last couple of years. Ariel Re is a
specialist looking to be an expert and add value wherever it
decides to deploy its capital. It is also highly diverse with
divisions insuring clean energy, cyber and professional lines as
well as operating in the more traditional property cat arena.
What seems to set it apart is a willingness to move towards risks
that others are running away from. This obviously takes an open
mind and the confidence to invest in the sort of expertise that
will give the firm the comfort to issue terms where others won’t.
That all points to a business and a leadership team that is very
much out of the ordinary. I think this podcast will give you a
good idea of how Ariel Re sets about this difficult task and help
you start to get to know someone whose industry profile is likely
to rise significantly in coming years. Ryan is clearly very smart
but he’s far from being dry or academic. He’s very amiable and
refreshing company and I can highly recommend a listen
