Guy Carp poaches MD from Willis Re to fill strategy role

Guy Carpenter has hired a new head of strategy and client engagement within its international and global specialties divisions, with effect from October.

Shaun Sinniah will work with heads of business across these divisions to help deliver on strategic priorities. He will report to James Nash, president, International and Kevin Fisher, president, Global Specialties.

Sinniah joins Guy Carpenter from Willis Re, where he was managing director, sales & client management. He joined the firm in 2012, having previously been a consultant at Willis. Prior to this, Sinniah was an associate at Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong, having started at the company in 2005.

Nash said: “Shaun is a fantastic addition to the team and brings a wealth of experience in all aspects of client engagement. In his new role, he will work closely with myself and Kevin to drive forward a number of client-centric initiatives and product-focused developments that will serve to boost our service delivery capabilities and create opportunities to expand existing client relationships and secure new ones.”

Fisher added: “At Guy Carpenter, we are always working to enhance levels of collaboration with our clients and create a much more connected relationship that helps ensure we can exploit the full range of our capabilities to meet their unique requirements. Our value proposition is an extremely strong one, but there are always ways to make it stronger and Shaun will play a central role in helping us secure these.”
