Spring Consulting Group, the professional services firm, has appointed three new actuaries to support its employee benefits and property and casualty (P&C) actuarial offerings. Boston-headquartered Spring has hired Ron Williams as chief actuary. This follows the news that Steven Keshner, Spring’s senior vice president and chief actuary is set to retire soon. As chief actuary, Williams will lead Spring’s employee benefits actuarial team, which will include contributing to new business development. Williams brings more than 30 years of insurance experience across financial solutions, capital and risk management, and employee benefits. Prior to joining Spring, Williams served as a managing director leading the health and benefits risk analytics practice at KPMG. Spring has also appointed Andrew Stuntz, as an actuarial analyst on the P&C team. In his new role, Stunts will work on the P&C team led by Peter Johnson, chief P&C actuary. He will also support projects related to pricing, reserving, and captive feasibility studies. Spring most recently worked on transit pricing and fare technology projects for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. Aaron Houtari, as an actual analyst, was Spring’s third hire. Previously, Houtari has held multiple positions at AXA Advisors, JP Morgan and Allen Bailey & Associates. Commenting on the developments, Spring’s managing partner, Karin Landy, says: “I know this will enhance the breadth of our actuarial services and ensure that our clients continue to receive the same excellence, attention to detail, and consultative knowledge that our actuaries are known for!”
