Rourke brings over 25 years of industry experience to the role and most recently served as UK Head of P&C Pricing, Product, Claims and Underwriting in the Insurance Consulting and Technology business.

Klüttgens, previously Divisional Leader for Northern and Central Europe, takes on the EMEA Life Leader role with a strong track record of advising global insurers on M&A and financial reporting. He will focus on strengthening the Insurance Consulting and Technology’s Life consulting proposition, supporting clients with advanced analytics, AI enablement and end-to-end technology solutions.

In her new position, Tammy will lead in ensuring AI is successfully embedded across the organisation, as well as overseeing the development and delivery of transformative client technologies and propositions.”
