Sompo International expands global risk control function

Bermuda-based specialty property and casualty re/insurer Sompo International has launched a global risk control services function within its insurance business.

The team will be led by Victor Sordillo, senior vice president of risk control, who joined the company in January 2017. Sompo will work with the company’s insureds to deliver advanced risk management programmes alongside more traditional loss control tools.

Sompo International’s risk management and mitigation services will now include customised mobile inspection applications, employee training and recognition programmes, and a suite of assessment tools. Sompo said its proprietary next generation of risk control consultation Risk A/TSM that relies on behavioural based analysis to assist clients will help better manage their risk exposures.

The team across the US and Europe will include experts in a range of safety disciplines including industrial hygiene, ergonomics, fire protection, and product liability as well as professionals with extensive experience in the transportation, environmental services, real estate, hospitality, construction, manufacturing and financial services sectors.

Sordillo commented: “By building a team of specialized risk control professionals with in-depth knowledge of the risk exposures specific to our client’s operations, we can deliver innovative and consultative risk control services. Advanced risk management programmes provide value to our clients by reducing their risk exposure, identifying best practice controls, improving efficiency and differentiating their business operations.”

Jack Kuhn, CEO of global insurance and chief underwriting officer, Sompo International, said: “Working collaboratively with our dedicated underwriters and claims specialists, this expanded global risk control function will enhance the delivery of industry leading services to Sompo International’s clients. Our clients appreciate that our advanced risk control services drive reduced claims experience and demonstrated return on investment to their bottom line.”
