Arden Appoints Brad Perilman as Chief Financial Officer

Industry veteran joins alongside Chief Accounting Officer James Conway as Arden continues to strengthen its executive leadership team

GLENDALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arden Insurance Services LLC, a high-growth, tech-enabled managing general underwriter (MGU), today announced the appointment of Brad Perilman as Chief Financial Officer. Perilman brings more than 20 years of leadership experience across the insurance, reinsurance and specialty brokerage industries and will oversee Arden's finance organization as the company enters its next phase of growth.

"Brad’s proven track record of helping high-growth insurance businesses navigate periods of rapid expansion makes him an ideal addition to our leadership team,” said Brian Cohen, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Arden. “Together with James Conway's recent appointment as Chief Accounting Officer, we've assembled a finance leadership team with the expertise and operational discipline to support Arden’s continued growth.”

Perilman joins Arden from Integrated Specialty Coverages (ISC), where he served as Chief Financial Officer. Previously, he served as Chief Financial Officer of Atlas General Holdings and held executive leadership roles at Worldwide Facilities and Aon Benfield Securities, where he advised insurance companies on strategic transactions and capital markets initiatives.

"I'm excited to join Arden at such a pivotal point in its evolution," said Perilman. "Arden has built a differentiated platform, an outstanding reputation in the specialty insurance market and a leadership team with a clear vision for the future. I look forward to partnering with the team to build on that foundation and capitalize on the significant opportunities ahead."

In his new role, Perilman will partner closely with James Conway, bringing complementary expertise across financial strategy, accounting and corporate development to strengthen Arden’s finance function. Conway joined Arden earlier this year to oversee accounting, financial reporting and internal controls following more than 10 years in accounting and finance roles at Alvarez & Marsal, Trintech and KPMG.

Perilman and Conway join Arden during a period of continued momentum. Since FTV Capital's growth equity investment in 2024, Arden has continued to expand its platform and executive leadership team while building on its strong market position. In 2025, Arden surpassed $375 million of in-force premium and received multiple industry honors, including MGA of the Year from The Insurer and Intermediary of the Year and Best Places to Work in Insurance from Business Insurance.
