Conduit Re names ex-Aspen CFO Mark Pickering to lead finance

At Aspen, Pickering spent 11 years. He held roles as Bermuda CEO and group chief capital management officer before becoming group CFO. He worked on Aspen's 2025 New York Stock Exchange IPO and the subsequent sale to Sompo, which closed earlier this year. Before Aspen, he held senior roles at Platinum Underwriters and Marsh McLennan.

"He brings extensive experience across the global reinsurance market and a strong track record of financial leadership," CEO Neil Eckert said in a statement.

Whelan, in her own statement, called her tenure "a privilege" and said she leaves "with great confidence in Conduit's future."

Conduit Re writes multi-line reinsurance out of Bermuda and London. The company has been building its underwriting footprint since launching in 2020.
