The Ardonagh Group today announces the appointment of Jason Anthony to lead its MGA proposition in Asia*.
Reporting into the newly appointed Asia CEO, Andrew Minnitt*, Anthony will lead Ardonagh’s efforts to build a pan-Asian MGA at scale, expanding Ardonagh’s existing MGA operations in HK, Charter Union, and expanding both the product line focus and geographic reach across Asia.
Anthony brings 38 years of experience in the Lloyd’s and London insurance market, with deep expertise across underwriting, business development and MGA launch strategies. In this role, Anthony has a clear strategic mandate to build a focused, high-quality MGA platform in Asia. With strong capital backing, the business is well positioned to partner with experienced underwriters who share our ambition to create a differentiated regional proposition.
Commenting on the appointment, Investor Director for Asia, Philip Johnson said:
“Jason’s appointment is a significant step forward in strengthening Ardonagh’s leadership and long‑term commitment to Asia. Building a truly independent, specialist broking and underwriting proposition in the region requires deep local expertise, strong governance and the ability to scale with confidence. Jason brings a rare combination of entrepreneurial MGA experience and London Market credibility, and with the breadth and backing of The Ardonagh Group behind him, we are exceptionally well placed to build a pan‑Asian MGA business of real substance.”
Andrew Mak, CEO of Hong Kong added:
“Jason has an outstanding track record of building and scaling high‑quality MGA businesses, and a deep understanding of how to connect local underwriting expertise with the global capabilities of the London Market. His leadership will be pivotal in accelerating our growth and strengthening our connectivity across Hong Kong, Singapore and the wider Asian market as we attract senior underwriting talent aligned with our long-term ambitions.”
