Northern Re appoints Munich Re’s Amin Touahri to build ILS and capital solutions

Cayman Island-domiciled Northern Re, a reinsurance firm focused on long-tail casualty business, has appointed Munich Re’s Amin Touahri to advance the firm’s initiatives in insurance-linked securities (ILS), capital solutions, and deal origination.

Most recently, Touahri served as the Head of Department at HSB (Hartford Steam Boiler) where he was instrumental in driving the Specialty Re P&L, overseeing the entire value chain, including key areas such as client management, underwriting, and client operations.

Prior to this, Touahri held several roles across North America and Europe at Munich Re, the world’s largest provider of reinsurance, primary insurance, and risk solutions.

Touahri commented, “I’m excited to join Northern Re, as opportunities to be part of building a de novo reinsurer don’t come around often.

“I’ve always had an entrepreneurial mindset, and seeing what the team has accomplished in such a short time is truly inspiring. I’m looking forward to contributing to the next phase of growth and helping achieve our ambitious goals.”

Anthony McKelvy and Peter McKelvy, Co-Founders and Managing Partners of Northern Re, added, “We’re excited to bring Amin onboard and continue adding top talent from global reinsurance companies to drive our business forward.

“The experience that he brings will directly benefit our partners as we build towards institutionalising Northern as a global reinsurer and leading manager of Casualty ILS.”

Northern Re has a focus on data-driven portfolios of property and casualty risk. So far, the reinsurer has raised $75 million in capital.
