Over the course of my 35-year reinsurance career, I successfully assisted insurance company clients in obtaining billions of dollars of reinsurance capital in support of their underwriting business plans. I conceived, developed, and mastered analytic and stochastic modeling tools to quantify the value of the risk transfer and capital benefit provided by a reinsurance program to inform negotiations with the global reinsurance community and optimize the program structure for clients. Prior to starting my reinsurance career, I gained foundational insurance experience as a commercial P&C underwriter. During my initial 10 years with Aon as a treaty reinsurance broker with a broad range of clients, I leveraged my knowledge of statistics and computer science to develop innovative models and analytic tools. These tools not only expanded our broking and reinsurance program design capabilities but also played a crucial role in growing our client base.When in 1996 Aon decided to form a dedicated in-house Canadian reinsurance analytics team, I stepped up to be a leader in the effort and commenced adding personnel to the team. As a result, I have decades of experience recruiting, interviewing, hiring, and training actuaries in reinsurance pricing and modeling principles. With this enlarged team and supported by the capabilities of our Chicago and London colleagues, our Canadian reinsurance analytics development accelerated to become renowned in the industry.Notable tool developments:• ReCAT™ - catastrophe model for Canadian non-earthquake perils• CatBURN™ - catastrophe experience rating tool• CatPrism™ - models and optimizes catastrophe reinsurance programs.• Canadian Industry Catastrophe Loss Database• PrimeRe™ - adapted exposure rating templates for Canada• ReMetrica™ - directed size-of-loss curve adaption for Canada.• ELDA™ - property experience rating tool• CALCA™ - casualty loss development and experience rating tool• Ontario Auto Accident Benefits KOL code trending and limit capping tool
