In conversation… with Erik Matson
May 2, 2026
Erik Matson has played a critical role in the development of the hybrid fronting market, initially in the United States where in 2018 he founded Transverse (now MS Transverse). That company is now one of the largest fronting companies in the US, writing $3 billion in premium in 2025.
For his next act, Matson looked across the Atlantic to Europe, where he is chairman of the recently established Bridgehaven Europe Specialty Ltd Bridgehaven signed its first continental European MGA capacity agreement (with Arrow Risk Management, GmbH) last month.
