“As we expand the remit of our risk function offering in 2022 towards best-in-class, I am delighted to welcome John, Victoria, Wendy and Maurice to the team,” Desai said. “Their extensive and collective underwriting, actuarial and broader risk expertise will strengthen and contribute to the delivery of our strategic ambition. Investment in this top-tier talent reflects the value the business has come to place in the risk function as a trusted source of insight, challenge and as a key partner to all material decision making. I am looking forward to working with such diverse senior talent to support MS Amlin as we continue to build out a successful underwriting business, delivering risk-sensitive, sustainable growth.”
