Bobby has demonstrated his strong knowledge and experience, making him the obvious choice to lead our global fraud function. We are delighted that he is joining us.”

Gracey commented: “Charles Taylor is the strongest provider of technical and professional services to insurers globally with unrivalled expertise in claims across multiple markets. I was particularly impressed by its global footprint and believe there is no one else in the market that can rival its claims operations. This is an exciting opportunity to strategically evolve its counter fraud function and assist Charles Taylor’s clients to better manage their claims expenses and loss ratios.”
