Reinsurance broker Aon Benfield has bolstered its analytics team in Australia.

Kate Bible joins as Senior Actuary following 13 years with the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, where she was responsible for risk analytics, industry reporting and stress testing.

“We are certain that her proven track record, progressive approach and industry-leading knowledge of the regulatory regime in Australia and the region will make her a highly successful risk adviser to our clients,” Head of Analytics Peter Cheesman said.

The other new additions are Senior Actuarial Analyst Jaykishan Jeyendran, who joins from Aon Benfield in Singapore, and Catastrophe Analyst Alex Alabaster, a veteran exploration geologist who previously worked with Atlas Iron in WA.

Head of Broking John Carroll says the new appointments “indicate our continued focus on empowering and transforming the way insurers navigate data and analytics within the reinsurance and risk transfer framework”.
