(Bloomberg) – TigerRisk Partners hired Philipp Kusche from Swiss Re AG as the reinsurance broker seeks to put together more deals involving Wall Street investors who are looking to make bets tied to natural disasters.
Kusche was named global head of insurance-linked securities and capital solutions, the Stamford, Connecticut-based company said Monday in a statement. He will be based in New York in the newly created position and report to President Tony Ursano. Kusche formerly led the structuring and origination of insurance-linked securities, or ILS, at Swiss Re Capital Markets, according to the statement.
TigerRisk has been adding senior staff as the firm challenges larger brokers like Marsh & McLennan Cos. and Willis Towers Watson Plc in capital markets deals. Ursano, a former Bank of America Corp. dealmaker, joined last year from Willis. He then brought on Steven Bensinger, who oversaw American International Group Inc.'s finances during the early part of the global credit crisis, to advise clients.
