Compre hires from PwC and OdysseyRe

Compre, the Bermuda headquartered, international legacy group, has appointed senior people from PwC and OdysseyRe as chief reserving actuary and head of analytics.

Jennie Earis joins as chief reserving actuary. She brings 15 years of legacy market reserving and M&A experience to Compre. She was previously an associate director at PwC.

Kunal Shrivastava will be head of analytics. He joins from OdysseyRe, where he served as senior pricing actuary & data scientist. Prior to joining OdysseyRe he was a pricing actuary at Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty, a pricing actuary at Beazley and before that he worked for Legal & General as a senior pricing analyst.

The company said both will support the continued growth of Compre, particularly following the group’s significant loss portfolio transfer of a SiriusPoint portfolio, in which Compre assumed $1.3bn of reserves.

Mark Lawson, group chief actuary, Compre said: “We are delighted to welcome Jennie and Kunal, both of whom bring exactly the kind of proven actuarial and analytical skills needed by Compre as it continues to grow. They will bring more bandwidth, focus and sophistication to the business, especially as it develops further areas of specialism. They will help deliver deeper and faster insights into key risk and value drivers in the reserves and strengthen our ability to take positive, proactive actions against those, ultimately resulting in better risk, balance sheet and P&L performance and management.”
