Partner Richard Enos splits his time between London, Bermuda and New York. He has thirty years of experience. For the first twenty years of Richard's careeer he was a treaty reinsurance broker in the traditional insurance markets at Lloyds of London.
Ten years ago, Richard identified the convergence trend between reinsurance and the capital markets and began his move between the two industries. Within the Capital Markets Richard used his extensive knowledge and experience of reinsurance to concentrate on the continued convergence of the two businesses. Richard's impressive knowledge of P&C business lines allows the firm to be a little more adventerous - in the right places.
Richard maintains an extensive network of senior relationships within the insurance markets in London, Bermuda, USA and Continental Europe.
Partner Veronica (Ronnie) Cloke-Browne spent six years with one of the oil majors working at a large refinery, where she was responsible for optimising the production of all finished products.
One of Ronnie's particular successes at the refinery was to identify the impact of environmental changes to fuel specifications on additive performance two years ahead of schedule. Working with the additive suppliers, Ronnie prepared the refinery to produce the new specification fuel exactly on schedule, giving her product a significant competitive advantage and contributing significantly to her employer's revenues. The company applied for a patent to protect this work.
Ronnie has a Masters Degree and PhD in Chemical Engineering from Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine. She is a Fellow of the Energy Institute.
