Reinsurance specialist broker BMS Re US (BMS), has expanded its team with two senior appointments, naming Chang Liu as Director of Catastrophe Analytics Technical Development and Bradley Parent, an Associate of the Casualty Actuarial Society, as Assistant Vice President / Actuary.
BMS said the new hires show its continued commitment to incorporate actuarial and technological expertise into the business.
To leverage the firm’s growing analytical and re/insurance expertise, BMS has formed a Solutions Group to identify business trends and develop solutions tailored to each client’s goals.
The Solutions Group will be led by Kirk Conrad, Chief Strategy Officer at BMS Re U.S.; “our focus always has and always will be on delivering solutions and advice that helps our clients meet their goals.
“BMS has made significant investments in technology, including the award winning spatial application, BMS iVision™, in addition to developing a robust catastrophe analytics and actuarial tool suite.
“Our history of investment in technology and highly skilled people, such as Brad and Chang, coupled with our ability to act quickly, allows BMS to offer the right solutions for our clients. I am pleased to welcome them to our team and look forward to working with them as I lead the Solutions Group,” said Conrad.
Liu joins from a role as Director of Catastrophe Risk Modelling and Research at XL Catlin, having previously held a number of senior roles at ACE, Tokio Marine Technologies and RMS.
Parent most recently worked for the Christopher Gross Consulting Group and brings a strong actuarial background to BMS in all aspects of P&C insurance, including reserving, pricing, reinsurance, predictive modelling, and software development.
