Verisk SBS strengthens solutions-based approach with new appointments

Bathurst joins as director of solutions broking, and Spencer as director of solutions underwriting. Both will be based in London and report to chief product officer Rich Smith.

The appointments of Bathurst and Spencer expand Verisk SBS’s team of solutions directors across broking, underwriting, and analytics, demonstrating the company’s commitment to providing comprehensive solutions to its clients. They will work collaboratively to analyse, strengthen, and improve Verisk SBS’s broking and underwriting processes, supported by subject matter and domain experts.
