Hymans Robertson, a London-based financial services consultancy, has appointed Krish Kistnassamy as head of general insurance within its Insurance and Financial Services (IFS) practice.
In his new role, he will lead and develop the firm’s general insurance services, including risk and capital management, stress testing, pricing, underwriting, and climate initiatives.
Kistnassamy and his team will also provide client support on the senior management functions of the chief actuary and chief risk officer, as well as independent expert services on Part VII transfers.
He has more than 25 years of general insurance experience at senior levels, including 10 years at the Prudential Regulation Authority. Before that, Kistnassamy was senior actuary and broker at Guy Carpenter, and co-head of ReSolutions and chief actuary at Aon Re.
Commenting on the appointment, Emma McWilliam, global head of IFS at Hymans Robertson, states: “Krish combines technical expertise with commercial acumen and an understanding of the regulatory framework. He is a recognised expert in general insurance matters and a leader with the best interests of our clients at heart.
“Our IFS team has grown strongly over the last few years, and we are delighted to invest in and grow our general insurance practice and offering over the next few years to benefit our general insurance clients."
Kistnassamy says: “The challenges general insurers face over the next few years will be numerous: whether from geopolitical risk or the unprecedented economic environment to the uncertain impact of climate, while they are likely to remain subject to considerable scrutiny.
“I am very much looking forward to assisting our clients to manage those risks while making the most of the opportunities the future offers."
