ProGlobal appoints US head

Re/insurance service provider, Pro Global Insurance Solutions, has appointed Mory Katz to the role of managing director US.

Based in Pro’s New York office, Katz will be responsible for the growth and development of the company’s US business and the delivery of its client first strategy. He will report to Pro’s chief executive officer Artur Niemczewski.

He joins Pro from consumer reporting agency Equifax, where he held the post of vice president and general manager of its insurance and health care vertical markets. Prior to this, he led marketing and business development for the commercial property division of leading risk information provider Verisk.

Niemczewski said: “Mory is a recognised, highly experienced and insightful leader who has operated at the board level and in a range of leading businesses. His client focus and commitment to service, combined with his knowledge of the increasing confluence between data and capital and the use of information products to enable insurance companies to grow, make him an ideal leader to drive forward Pro’s growth in the US.

“We’ve stated that our objective is to become the number one specialist service provider addressing the complex operational needs of global insurers and reinsurers. We’ve made great progress this year and Mory will be critical in the next stage of Pro’s global strategy. We’ve laid the foundations, now the focus is on expansion.”

Katz added: “I am very excited to be joining Pro. The insurance and reinsurance industry is experiencing enormous change which brings both great challenges and opportunities. Pro is positioned to make a significant contribution to our industry and I am grateful to be given the opportunity to lead the US team and serve our clients.”
