r10 Consulting (r10), the management consultancy for the insurance industry, has appointed Hélène Stanway and Paul Willoughby as strategic advisors, completing a new executive strategic advisory team for the firm.
The team is made up of Stanway, Willoughby, chief technology officer Chris Hendry and executive director John Taylor, and it will play an integral part in guiding and strengthening r10’s advisory capabilities.
Companies in the global specialty market face challenges and opportunities around the use of technology, the transition to ‘data first’ and their strategic direction.
The combined experience of Stanway and Willoughby – both highly effective, well-known market leaders – covers digital transformation across emerging technologies, innovation, operations, data, business strategy and planning. This will strengthen r10’s capability to understand, address and advise clients on their strategic direction and tackle market challenges head on.
Amechi Peirce-Howe, founder and managing director, said: “I’m delighted that Hélène and Paul have joined the r10 family, further enhancing our strategic advisory capabilities. Having worked with them both over many years, I believe their knowledge, experience, attitude, and network will be invaluable to our clients and the growing r10 team. They are both extremely well-respected within the market and I’m looking forward to working with them as we continue to focus on delivering game-changing transformation to the market.”
