Ahmad, who will start his new position in mid-April, will be responsible for all pricing solutions, driving strategy and development across Verisk.
He will apply his understanding of the reinsurance market to accelerate the development of actuarial tools to modernise the underwriting process.
With expertise in actuarial pricing and reserving in the Lloyd's and London Market, Ahmad is currently a senior manager at Deloitte.
Previously, he worked as a pricing and portfolio manager at Lloyd's and as managing director at AGORA direct UK.
Commenting on the appointment, Richard Smith, chief product officer at Verisk SBS, says: “Taha’s technical actuarial, regulatory and strategic consulting expertise developed across roles at Lloyd’s, Deloitte, QBE and other firms gives him unmatched understanding of the issues faced by the industry.”
Ahmad states: “Verisk clients need live information on their book of business and the ability to understand, manage and analyse the data.
“Verisk is certainly responding to these challenges, offering coherent solutions that support the insured, through the broker and the carrier, and all of the data in between.”
