Derek Keating named executive director of reinsurance brokerage business
Strengthening its presence in the US property reinsurance market, Towers Perrin has named Derek Keating as an executive director of its London reinsurance brokerage business. The appointment begins on 1 September. In his role, Mr. Keating will support the development of the firm’s rapidly expanding U.S. property reinsurance portfolio.
Keating will report to Keith Harrison, managing director for Towers Perrin’s North American Reinsurance division in London.
Keating will join Towers Perrin after 14 years at Aon Benfield, most recently as a member of the firm’s North American Reinsurance management board. Prior to that, he was an associate partner at Ellinger Heath Western, which was acquired by Benfield in 1995.
“The addition of Derek Keating will bolster our already strong property reinsurance expertise,” said Ross Howard, COO Europe, for Towers Perrin’s reinsurance brokerage business.
“He brings a wealth of experience and business acumen that will enable us to achieve even greater strides in the extremely important North American market.”
