Senior Director, Insurance Advisory Services @Moody's Analytics

London, GB

I lead a team of Insurance specialists within Moody\'s Advisory Services who help companies to determine and implement the right solutions for them to understand and manage their exposure and catastrophe risk. Every client’s situation, strategic objectives and priorities are different. Prior to making significant investments in new technologies, applications, models and/or analytics we help our clients to assess their options and quantify which would provide the best return and achieve their goals.This follows through to the design and implementation phases, whether: integrating a new application, operationalising the use cat models for the first time, or defining and applying a custom view of risk. In addition to advising on re/insurance industry best-practices and responding to the changing market needs.Moody\'s is a global integrated risk assessment firm that empowers organizations to make better decisions. We are on a mission to provide trusted insights and standards that help decision makers act with confidence, across the insurance domain. New science and advanced and affordable technologies are driving major changes in the (re)insurance industry. The risk management analytics and systems used across most companies today, will look very different in 5 years’ time. Since 2016, Moody’s has spent more than $7bn to build our insurance analytics business, through investment and acquisition, including the addition of RMS to the Moody’s family in 2021.We are driving innovation across the re/insurance industry by delivering market-leading technologies, science and analytics today, and designs for the future.
