Lloyd’s underwriting head departs for Tokio Millennium Re

Tokio Millennium Re (TMR) has appointed Brian Secrett as the company's new chief underwriting officer (CUO) and member of the executive committee with effect from October.

Secrett will join TMR from Lloyd’s, where he has been head of class of business and subsequently interim head of underwriting performance. Prior to that, he held several management positions at PartnerRe, including most recently as the head of the catastrophe business unit. Secrett began his career in reinsurance in 1989 as a property treaty underwriter at Swiss Re, UK.

In his new position, Secrett will lead the underwriting and pricing functions at TMR with responsibility for the risk selection process and controls. The company said that the new role further strengthens its focus on analytics.

Secrett will be based in the London office of TMR.

Stephan Ruoff, chief executive officer of TMR, commented: "We are very pleased that Brian will step into this new CUO position at TMR. Brian has an impressive track record with almost 30 years of reinsurance underwriting and insurance risk experience having been responsible for leading the underwriting performance team and initiatives at Lloyd’s, and prior to that leading a very significant catastrophe reinsurance business
portfolio."

Brian’s expertise in underwriting, pricing and risk analytics combined with his long term experience of building balanced underwriting portfolios, equips him perfectly for his new role at TMR," he added.
