Christian Howell will join Willis Re, the reinsurance advisory and brokerage joint venture between Bain Capital (BCIS) and WTW, as a senior team member responsible for spearheading its push into global life reinsurance.
Most recently, Howell served as head of international insurance solutions at Macquarie Asset Management, where he focused on helping insurance clients develop investment strategies across private markets.
Prior to this, the executive spent more than 16 years at Schroders in a variety of leadership roles covering insurance clients globally, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.
In addition to his experience in the life insurance industry, Howell has extensive experience working with insurance companies, reinsurers and institutional investors to provide investment and asset liability management solutions, with a particular focus on capital efficiency, risk-based capital regimes, liquidity and long-term portfolio construction.
Iain Whittingham, Senior Managing Director, Insurance Consulting and Technology at WTW, commented: “It is a pleasure to welcome Christian to Willis Re.
“His blend of life reinsurance and investment expertise is exactly what we need as we enter the global life reinsurance market. I am delighted to have him on board and I look forward to the impact he will have for our clients.”
