Aspen Insurance names Scott Kirk group chief financial officer

Scott Kirk has been named group chief financial officer of Aspen Insurance Holdings Ltd. effective immediately, Aspen announced Friday.

Mr. Kirk, who most recently served as chief financial officer of Hamilton, Bermuda-based Aspen Insurance, succeeds John Worth, whom Aspen said is leaving the company.

A spokesman for Aspen said in an email that the company could not provide any further details on Mr. Worth’s departure.

“I’m pleased to announce Scott’s promotion to the position of group CFO,” Aspen CEO Chris O’Kane said in a statement. “Over the course of the seven years that Scott has been at Aspen, he has proven to be a highly talented strategic thinker and key financial leader, both in his group roles as group financial controller and group head of finance, and most recently as CFO of Aspen’s insurance business.”

“John Worth has made a valuable contribution to Aspen and in particular strengthened the operational side of our finance function and enhanced our expense discipline,” Mr. O’Kane said in the statement. “We would like to thank him for what he has done for Aspen, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
