I'm Cat and I am a partner in LCP's Insurance Consulting practice. I have over 15 years of consulting experience and help my clients understand and manage their insurance risks better. I work with a wide range of insurers, including large personal lines insurers, commercial insurers and Lloyd's syndicates.
I am a Solvency II expert and can help you and your firm navigate the wide-ranging and onerous regulatory requirements. I have performed numerous independent reviews of internal model validation, risk and governance frameworks, standard formula calculations and technical provisions. I have also helped the risk function of a large global insurer prepare for restructuring and redomiciling due to Brexit.
Clients tell me that they appreciate my hands-on approach to getting things done, and my ability to explain complex issues in an easy to understand way.
I am the Chair of the IFoA’s GI Life Long Learning Committee, the Lifelong Learning Director on the IFoA's General Insurance Board and a member of the IFoA’s 400 club. I have also previously been a member of the Solvency II Practical Review working party.
I author LCP’s annual review on the SFCRs of 100 non-life insurers across the UK and Ireland, and have presented widely on this subject, including at EIOPA’s industry conference in Frankfurt.
I also manage our insurance teams and am involved in the recruitment of actuarial staff. In addition, I am a founding member and co-chair of LCP's LGBT+ network which leads initiatives and provides support to ensure that we provide an accepting environment for LGBT+ individuals to thrive and prosper.
Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my partner, our families and our pets, as well as playing piano, organ and saxophone.
Cat and the team worked flexibly to our timescales and produced advice that was clear and practical to implement. We were impressed with how easy the recommendations were to understand, particularly given the complexity of the underlying regulations
