AEGIS London, an insurer at Lloyd’s of London, has announced the appointment of Viren Patel (pictured above) as its head of risk.
“We are delighted that Viren has joined our team. He brings with him in-depth knowledge of the industry and a wealth of experience,” said Graeme Tennyson, chief risk and compliance officer.
Before he joined AEGIS London, Patel held a leadership role at Starr Companies as its head of risk for five years. He focused on core enterprise risk management (ERM), internal model validation, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG).
Prior to that, he had a number of London market risk and actuarial roles in which he focused on capital modelling and validation. He also worked at Lloyd’s for a few years.
“His understanding of the risk management landscape in the Lloyd’s market will support our clients and the wider business. He is an excellent addition to the AEGIS London risk team, and his appointment further strengthens our capabilities in this critical area,” said Tennyson.
Patel will lead the firm’s risk team and will focus on internal model validation, own risk and solvency assessment (ORSA), as well as risk reporting. He will report to Tennyson.
