Barrie & Hibbert Strengthens Asia Pacific Team

Barrie & Hibbert is continuing to expand its global team with new appointments in Asia Pacific. Tony Ho has been named Head of Client Services, Life Insurance, and David Roseburgh joins the team as Head of Risk Modelling for the region. The company has also appointed Daisuke Nakazato as the first dedicated Japanese representative.

Tony Ho, who joins from RGA Insurance Hong Kong, will oversee the Asia Pacific region and focus on Barrie & Hibbert’s existing relationships worldwide, as well as introducing the company to new markets and clients. Tony comments: “Barrie & Hibbert has already made an impact in the Asia Pacific market since they opened the Hong Kong office in 2008. The level of sophistication across the company’s products and expertise have stood them in good stead to grow the business and its client base in an evolving market. I look forward to building on that success.”

As Head of Risk Modelling, David Roseburgh will work closely with the growing client base to increase the emphasis on risk based capital which requires dedicated quantitative expertise in Asia. David will transfers the skills and knowledge he has gained during his time covering European markets for the company where his main focus was Model Research and Development, Model Calibration and technical client support. “It’s an exciting time to be involved in stochastic modeling in Asia. Hopefully my experience helping our clients across Europe and South Africa deal with the technical and modeling challenges inherent in Solvency II and similar regulatory frameworks will put me in a great position here in APAC, where insurers are increasingly trying to find solutions to the same problems.”

Daisuke Nakatazo joins Barrie & Hibbert following a long career as a quant where he worked across a range of asset classes, including working with both Black and Scholes. Nakazato-san shares his expertise as a lecturer at Waseda University in Tokyo. This appointment will secure a dedicated member of the Barrie & Hibbert team in Japan and further demonstrates the company’s commitment to this market.

These appointments form part of Barrie & Hibbert’s global strategy for growth, which has also seen new positions created in the UK, USA and Europe. Tony Ho and David Roseburgh will be based in the Hong Kong office, and Daisuke Nakazato in Tokyo.
