Comment from Suki Basi

Suki Basi, Russell Managing Director said: “I am delighted to welcome David on board. Our clients and corporate partners will benefit from his 40 years of experience in setting strategy through to operational delivery, which has been combined with a passion for developing new and innovative risk management and insurance solutions.  

“He joins us at a pivotal moment in our business, following a corporate re-brand and positioning exercise that has seen us evolve into a human intelligence and data analytics company serving the needs of the world’s leading (re)insurance and corporate entities.”
