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

Tuesday May 17, 2022

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

One abbreviation that slipped through is SBF, which is Lloyd’s shorthand for Syndicate Business Forecast, and an essential part of the market’s planning process.
