Willis Re appoints managing director for its specialty analytics service

Willis Re has appointed Printhan Sothinathan as managing director, head of Willis Re Specialty Analytics, effective January 2017.

Sothinathan will report to Graeme Moore, CEO of Willis Re Global Specialty, and will be leading the expansion and development of the Willis Re Specialty Analytics service offering to clients.

He joins from the Navigators Group where he was managing director of Continental Europe. His broad re/insurance career spans 20 years during which he has gained extensive experience from multi-sized companies across the UK, European and US markets.

“'The addition of Printhan to our growing and talented team is an exciting strategic development for Willis Re Specialty, combining our transactional excellence with a forward thinking and proactive analytical approach,” said Moore.

“As the reinsurance market and our clients evolve it is essential that our offering embodies the full suite of analytics, instead of the traditional model of being supported by analytics. Printhan already has a proven track record in this area and we are delighted to have him on board.”

Sothinathan said: “I am excited to be joining Willis Re Specialty at a time where the team are actively enhancing their service capability in the face of a rapidly changing market place to better serve their clients. Willis Re Specialty is a premier broker that has grown its market share over the past two years. It has augmented and retained its intellectual capital further proving its commitment to clients. I am tremendously looking forward to adding to the success of Willis Re and serving its clients’ needs now and in the future.”
