Strategic Risk Solutions (SRS) has appointed Kathryn Anderson as director of its European consulting practice, effective October 2021. Based in the UK, Anderson will report to Derek Bridgeman, managing director and European risk consulting practice leader. Anderson joins the independent insurance company management firm following more than two decades at Marsh UK, where she served as senior vice president and worked closely with the business analytics team. Anderson spent the previous eight years in Marsh’s captive advisory practice, where she was responsible for consulting with global clients to establish captives and other formalised risk retention structures, as well as to derive the maximum value of these programmes for clients. Bridgeman says: “Having worked alongside her at Marsh, I saw first-hand Kathryn’s ability to understand a client’s objectives at all times and, through an analytically-driven feasibility process, provide them with risk financing solutions tailored to their risk profile.” “The current insurance environment demands a more sophisticated approach to insurance, so the expectation from our clients and prospects for enhanced consulting support is stronger than ever. Kathryn will be a great fit with SRS, playing a pivotal role in helping captive owners to continually challenge the status quo,” he adds.
