Towers Watson has made a number of new appointments in its property and casualty (P&C) insurance capital modelling and Igloo software development leadership teams.
Rob Collinson has been promoted to joint global product leader for P&C capital modelling alongside Richard Rodriguez, adding to the responsibility for the EMEA region that he has held for a number of years. He has been with Towers Watson and its predecessor, Watson Wyatt, for seven years and in recent years has also combined involvement in the development of new modelling libraries within Igloo with leading large capital modelling projects.
Also joining the P&C capital modelling leadership team as technical product leader is Richard Millns. This will entail working with the Igloo software development team to ensure clear delivery of the Igloo product roadmap in which he has been closely involved since joining EMB in 2001, prior to its acquisition by Towers Watson.
From the end of May, the Igloo software development team will be led by Boris Hurinek, who joins from Eurobase where he was chief technology officer. Boris takes over from David Christensen, who is transferring into a new technical research and development role focusing on working with Richard Millns in the evolution of future generations of the Igloo product and modelling libraries. Igloo is already used by more than 700 insurance organisations around the world.
Mark Beardall, global software leader for Towers Watson, said: “It is great to have such an experienced and committed team leading the continued investment in the Igloo product suite.”
