The Board of African Risk Capacity Limited (ARC Ltd), the financial affiliate and parametric insurance underwriting entity of the African Risk Capacity (ARC) Group, has announced the appointment of David Maslo as interim CEO, effective June 16th, 2025.
Maslo, a seasoned leader across the sector, brings a strong combination of actuarial expertise and policy insight towards his new role.
He also holds professional designations including Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU), Associate in Reinsurance (ARe), and a certification in Insurance-Linked Securities.
Maslo returns to ARC Ltd after serving as Chief Risk Management Officer at the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility Segregated Portfolio Company (CCRIF SPC), where he oversaw risk management for 30 members across the Caribbean and Central America.
Under his leadership, CCRIF managed over $1.5 billion in disaster risk and delivered record payouts to member governments and state-owned entities.
Maslo’s history with the ARC Group began at the ARC Agency, before he joined ARC Ltd as an Underwriter and Financial Analyst.
In that role, he played a key part in supporting the underwriting of parametric insurance and reinsurance placements, including technical analysis and pricing, as well as contributing towards the development of new risk transfer solutions, notably parametric insurance products for tropical cyclone, riverine flood and outbreak & epidemic.
He later served as Head of ARC’s Business Development function, where he was instrumental in launching ARC’s non-sovereign business, as well as helping to secure major initiatives such as the REPAIR program, Malawi’s social protection cover, and various agricultural microinsurance solutions.
