Inver Re today announces the appointment of Kurt Cripps as Global Head of Parametric. Kurt will be responsible for leading parametric solutions in the newly created role at Inver Re, working across the broader $13 billion premium Ardonagh Group.

Kurt brings nearly 20 years industry experience to the role, with over a decade focused on alternative risk transfer. He was previously Managing Director and Global Head of Weather at Aon Reinsurance Solutions, having joined Aon Benfield in 2009. His insurance career began as a broker at HSBC Reinsurance Brokers.

At Inver Re he will be responsible for building the market’s first dedicated global parametric team.

Kurt Cripps said: “Hard market conditions make this the right time for parametric products to be adopted by a wider range of customers. With the growth in big data and analytic capability alongside an influx of new investment, the conditions are set for parametric solutions to play a leading role in the future of risk transfer.

“Parametric solutions will fill the gaps created by market constraint with a clean product with agreed, transparent and speedy claims – and Ardonagh will be leading the way in the field of index-based solutions and bring additional capacity to our clients. With the world focusing its attention on TCFD & ESG, parametric will be an essential tool in assisting customers with transition risk.

“Personally, I’m also looking forward to working in an independent and nimble business with an uncompromising commitment to clients and inclusive colleague collaboration.”

“Kurt has pioneered parametric solutions in our market. Now could not be a better time for him to be joining us. We’re proud to welcome him and look forward to working together to develop a truly global team of experts."


Inver Re CEO, Steve Hearn
