TigerRisk hires Swiss Re exec to head reinsurance unit

Reinsurance broking and risk/capital management firm TigerRisk Partners has appointed Seth Ruff as partner and head of reinsurance solutions.

Ruff joins TigerRisk from Swiss Re, where he spent 17 years, most recently as president of US P&C Core Partners Group and president of Swiss Re Underwriters Agency. Previously, he held various posts with Swiss Re including 10 years in Structured Reinsurance Solutions, where he led the development and delivery of customised approaches to meet specific client objectives, as well as six years in casualty underwriting. Ruff began his insurance industry career as an actuarial consultant with PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

In his new role, Ruff will work alongside broking teams to provide individualized reinsurance coverage.

Rod Fox, CEO of TigerRisk said: "Seth Ruff has a unique talent for understanding client needs, and a long history of creating highly creative structured products that meet those needs."

Ruff commented: "As a reinsurance underwriter, I've had many opportunities to collaborate with TigerRisk on tailored solutions for clients. TigerRisk has built an exceptional client list, and has earned a reputation for fresh thinking and laser-like client focus. Tiger consistently delivers unexpected and impressive innovations. I can only hope to amplify Tiger's already profound level of creative energy."
