MS Amlin taps ex-Tokio Marine leader to push outward reinsurance strategy
Lloyd’s global specialty re/insurer MS Amlin Underwriting (MS AUL) has hired a reinsurance veteran who previously headed the ceded reinsurance and credit control for over a decade at Tokio Marine Kiln.
Habib Kattan has been appointed as outwards reinsurance advisor to support the implementation of MS AUL’s outward reinsurance strategy, which includes developing and expanding reinsurance relationships and overseeing reinsurance purchasing.
Kattan has over four decades of market experience. For the past five years, he has worked in an advisory and business development capacity across a number of projects in the insurance and reinsurance space through Kattan Associates.
Prior to that, he spent 12 years as group head of ceded reinsurance & credit control at Tokio Marine Kiln, designing and implementing reinsurance procurement strategies. During his tenure he also served as a member of the global reinsurance strategy board. Kattan’s further experience includes roles at Wellington Underwriting Syndicate and Aspen Insurance.
Kattan will report directly to Tjabo Kuyf, MS AUL's head of outwards reinsurance.
Martin Burke, director of underwriting performance, said: “I am delighted to welcome Habib to MS AUL. His market expertise, strong industry contacts and business acumen will be key to delivering on our reinsurance purchasing ambitions to continue to strengthen MS AUL’s business model and balance sheet and support our strategy for the future.”
