RFIB hires Willis exec to lead specialty business

Lloyd’s broker RFIB Group has hired a Willis Re executive as managing director of its specialty business that underwent a restructuring recently.

Kevin Stratton will take up his new position from January 2019, and will report to RFIB CEO Steven Beard.

Stratton most recently served as global head of accident, life and health at Willis Re for four years. Prior to that, he led Aon Benfield’s London based accident, life and health division.

“I am delighted to welcome Kevin to RFIB. Kevin is an accomplished leader and will further strengthen our capabilities across this fast-growing division,” said Beard.

Stratton commented: “I look forward to joining RFIB and to working closely with Steven in growing the Specialty team and business during this exciting stage of the company’s growth plan.”
