Ryan has three decades of experience in the insurance industry as a medical demographer, and is well-known speaker on future trends in longevity, behavioural science and unlocking the power of data for individuals.
Ryan has led global multi-disciplinary teams at Willis Towers Watson and Swiss Re on product innovation, emerging risks and the digital transformation of insurance, bringing together actuaries, doctors, underwriters, behavioural experts and data scientists. He was also a founding member of the Covid-19 Actuaries Response Group, and advised insurers, pensions schemes and governments on epidemiology, vaccination, demographic risk and social behaviours at the risk research consultancy, COIOS.
In this new role he will report to Paul Fulcher, group capital management and investment executive. Fulcher says: “[Ryan’s] strategic insight on demographic trends, emerging risks and product development will bring a valuable perspective to our business as we execute our ambitious growth agenda.”
