AIR Worldwide, a catastrophe modelling firm, has formed a global resilience practice to support risk reduction and resilience initiatives.
Daniel Kaniewski, who will serve as vice president of global resilience, will lead the new practice.
Kaniewski commented: "I'm extremely excited to join an innovative company like AIR and take on the challenge of developing the company's public risk strategy.”
"I look forward to assisting organisations in applying catastrophe modelling to financing disaster risk and to expanding AIR's already strong collaborations with the United Nations, the World Bank, the US National Flood Insurance Program, insurance regulatory bodies across the globe, and distinguished research groups."
