RMS Expands Solutions Team with Appointment of Colin Kerley

LONDON, U.K. - March 31, 2017 -
RMS, a leading risk modeling and analytics firm, today announced Colin
Kerley has joined as senior vice president, platform solutions. He
will work together with both the RMS market and product development
teams to identify the best solutions for clients through a clear
appreciation of their business and strategic imperatives.

Colin Kerley reports to Michael Steel, head of the newly formed RMS
global solutions practice. Steel said "Colin brings a thorough
understanding of the risk management and growth opportunities
available to our clients when using best-in-class risk analytics to
inform their decision-making. His knowledge and expertise will be
central to our clients' smooth adoption of solutions powered by
RMS(one)® — an open, big data and analytics platform that is
purpose-built for the insurance industry."
Kerley joins RMS from AXIS Capital, where he was senior vice
president, group risk management, with specific responsibility as head
of capital modeling, and chief risk officer for AXIS's European legal
entities. Prior to AXIS, Colin worked in the ReMetrics team at
Benfield, and with the insurance-linked securities (ILS) team at
Barclays Capital.
Colin Kerley, senior vice president, RMS platform solutions, said
"While the industry has always been data-driven, we now have the
compute power to take full advantage of that data. It's an exciting
opportunity for the industry, though one which requires a degree of
caution; the risk management decisions made by our clients are backed
by capital, which need to be informed by sound data analytics to avoid
loss. That's why RMS has designed the RMS(one) platform specifically
for our industry. Risk analytics that are powered by a transparent and
open analytics platform, provide the requisite safeguards for our
clients and will unlock the full potential for growth that big data
brings."
