Hanni Ali has been promoted to senior vice president of risk and analytics at Hamilton Re.
Mr. Ali, who joined Hamilton in July 2014, leads the risk and analytics function at Hamilton Re. Overseeing a team of nine that includes catastrophe modelers and data scientists, he has responsibility for providing the portfolio reporting for Hamilton's management, board, regulators, market bodies, and rating agencies.

“This is a well-deserved, well-earned promotion,” said Hamilton Re's chief executive officer, Kathleen Reardon. “At Hamilton, we've set an aspirational mission: We're writing the future of risk. Hanni's commitment to our mission and his impressive work in this regard have been, and will continue to be, key contributors to our success.”
Mr. Ali came to Hamilton Re after two years with Allied World Assurance Company, where he was responsible for developing pricing and portfolio accumulation, reporting and analytics systems, and the pricing of inwards and outwards reinsurance contracts.
Between 2008 and 2012, Mr. Ali worked for Montpelier Re, where he was involved in the establishment of Montpelier's Lloyd's Syndicate 5151 and associated managing agent, supporting underwriting and risk management of binders, treaty, retro, direct, and facultative business.
Prior to entering the reinsurance sector, Mr. Ali worked for four years in London's financial services sector, developing equity, commodity, and foreign exchange pricing models. He also ran his own startup, developing high performance computing (“HPC”) systems.
