Prior to that, he was a senior partner at McKinsey & Company, a leader in the global insurance practice focusing on property, casualty and life insurance.
Cowdler’s insurance experience also includes leadership skills. He also held leadership positions at Bain & Company and Oliver Wyman.
Shavel commented: “We are delighted to welcome Steve to Verisk. Our clients and colleagues will immediately benefit from his more than three decades of experience advising the world’s leading insurers and brokers, and working with management teams to improve claims, underwriting, distribution, artificial intelligence and digital enablement.
“Elizabeth has a deep understanding of investor priorities and expectations, and as interim president, she has enhanced our strategic dialogue with our clients. We are very grateful to Elizabeth for her leadership over the past few months and helping the Claims Division achieve its business priorities.”
Kauderer said: “I am delighted to join Verisk and the Claims Solutions team. Having the opportunity to work alongside talented colleagues who are passionate about making a difference for our clients and supporting them in how they serve them when disaster strikes is energizing and inspiring.
