Argenta Holdings has appointed Niranjan Nathan as group chief risk officer.

Subject to regulatory approvals, Nathan will take over from Carol-Ann Burton, who will continue as group general counsel and compliance director. Based in London and reporting to Nick Moore, CEO of Argenta Holdings and managing director of Argenta Syndicate Management, Nathan will also join the board of ASML.

Nathan has more than 20 years of experience in the global insurance industry spanning risk, pricing, reserving, risk capital, strategy development and transformation. He joins from EY where he was a partner and the UK non-life actuarial practice leader. Before this, he spent more than a decade at Swiss Re, where his roles included head of actuarial pricing UK, director group corporate strategy and development, before becoming chief risk officer of Swiss Re Corporate Solutions.

In his new role, Nathan will lead Argenta’s risk team and will oversee the actuarial function, working to ensure it maintains its robust risk framework, strong governance and appropriate supervision and risk controls.

Commenting on the appointment, Moore said: “We are delighted to appoint Niranjan to this key position. His vast experience in the industry makes him a real asset and he will play a crucial role in ensuring that Argenta’s continued growth is underpinned by a robust risk framework.

Nathan added: “I am excited to be joining at this stage in Argenta’s ambitious strategy. I look forward to working closely with the board, executive team and teams across the business to further embed a strong framework for risk management and deliver on Argenta’s vision and strategy.”
