Hyperion Insurance Group has hired a team of three principals including a captive specialist for Hyperion X Analytics.
The three new appointments include Mark Shumway, serving as head of advisory, Iain Davie, as head of catastrophe modelling, and Michelle To, who will work as head of business intelligence.
Shumway will specialise in (re)insurance capital management, rating agency advisory, shareholder value, captive strategy, regulatory capital, and fundraising. Shumway has led advisory teams at multiple firms and worked at A.M. Best as a lead insurance credit analyst.
Davie brings over 20 years of underwriting, exposure modelling, and technology consulting experience to the team. Davie joins from Quantemplate, an insurance technology company, where he was head of solution architecture.
To brings strategic consulting, advisory, and analytical expertise to the group. She is experienced with the use of enterprise data in helping clients to execute strategic growth plans in the (re)insurance market.
She joins from Aon Consulting, Bermuda, where she advised clients on growth, portfolio optimisation, and value creation.
David Flandro, managing director of Hyperion X Analytics, said: “With Mark Shumway, Iain Davie, and Michelle To now on board, and with the formation of our advisory, catastrophe modelling, business intelligence, and actuarial pillars, Hyperion X Analytics has established itself as the premier alternative in an increasingly narrow broking analytics market.”
Elliot Richardson, chairman of RKH reinsurance brokers, added: “High-level analytics capabilities obviously complement our 70-strong reinsurance broking team, especially the recent additions to our treaty area. In addition, our combined capabilities allow us to bring more powerful insights with support being made available to all Hyperion clients.”
