Business Wire

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
KCC is pleased to announce that long-time industry veteran Deanne Nixon has joined the KCC senior leadership team. As Senior Vice President, Ms. Nixon will be working directly with insurers and reinsurers to ensure KCC’s advanced modeling technology and applications continue to deliver high value as the market needs evolve.

Ms. Nixon is well known and respected in the (re)insurance industry. She started her reinsurance career as an underwriter for CNA Re in Chicago and moved to Bermuda in 2006 with new venture White Mountains Re (Sirius International) where she rose to Senior Vice President and then President of Sirius Capital Markets. Later in her career, Ms. Nixon was CUO and then CEO of a Florida insurer. Most recently, she has provided strategic consulting and advisory services to leading firms including Cincinnati Re and Arbol.

During her time in Bermuda, Ms. Nixon was the original founder of the Women in Reinsurance group (WiRe) with the idea to support the professional development of women in the industry.

“We’re delighted Deanne has joined our growing team,” said Karen Clark, KCC CEO. “As a former CEO of a primary insurer and President of a global ILS reinsurance fund, she brings a unique and valuable perspective that will enable KCC to more deeply engage with (re)insurers on holistic growth and risk management strategies.”

“Along with her impressive background and experience, Deanne is an industry leader who I’ve known and admired for many years,” continued Ms. Clark. “I couldn’t be happier with her decision to join the KCC team.”

“I’m excited by the opportunity with KCC,” said Ms. Nixon. “It’s clear the company has brought to market innovative and advanced technology, but KCC is more than a modeling company as demonstrated by the close relationships with insurer and reinsurer clients. I’m looking forward to expanding and deepening those relationships.”

“As data sources and information expand in a world with AI, KCC is integrating this evolving knowledge into efficient processes and successful strategies for (re)insurers,” continued Ms. Nixon. “It’s not often you get the opportunity to work with a recognized industry leader and innovator, and I’m looking forward to building the future with Karen and the KCC team.”

Ms. Nixon will be based in Jacksonville, Florida.
