Specialist re/insurance broker Tysers has announced the return of Vicky Ivanova (pictured above), who has rejoined the firm to lead its US casualty and US healthcare business.
Her responsibilities will include overseeing the strategic expansion of the practice and managing client relationships across these sectors.
Ivanova brings more than 10 years of broking experience, with a focus on placing complex risks in the US casualty and healthcare markets. Her work has included developing new products and delivering solutions for both programs and portfolio clients.
Prior to rejoining Tysers, Ivanova worked at Price Forbes, where she focused on clients including healthcare providers, nursing homes, miscellaneous healthcare businesses and cross-class liability accounts.
Tysers said that Ivanova’s experience combines professional broking expertise with a background in risk management and risk analysis. According to the firm, her approach focuses on building partnerships with clients to develop tailored insurance solutions that support their business plans and growth strategies.
Jason Collins, senior managing director, specialty, markets & AUB wholesale at Tysers, said her return supports the firm’s US casualty and healthcare expansion plans and reflects her experience and commitment to client service.
In 2023, the US property and casualty insurance industry reported net premiums written totaling approximately $859.85 billion, a 10% increase from $781.75 billion in 2022. NAIC noted in its report that the growth reflects the industry's resilience amid economic fluctuations.
The industry's combined ratio was 102.6% in the first quarter of 2023, indicating underwriting losses, according to data from Swiss Re. This was influenced by natural catastrophes and inflation, which elevated claims severity across property lines.
Meanwhile, the US healthcare insurance market was valued at approximately $786 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2024 to 2030, potentially reaching $1.27 trillion. According to an MMR report, factors contributing to this growth include the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and a growing aging population.
Elsewhere, the specialist re/insurance broker also expanded in Asia with the recent appointments of Babita Rai as CEO of Tysers Singapore and William Furness-Smith as head of marine for the APAC region.
