Keogh Named Advisen CEO, Succeeding Ruggieri

Former Eqecat, Tiger Risk and RMS executive William Keogh has been named CEO of data and analytics company Advisen Ltd.

The company said Keogh will start at Advisen on October 20, following the departure of former CEO and Advisen co-founder, Tom Ruggieri, who has been named North America CEO for global broker Cooper Gay Swett & Crawford.

Keogh joins from his current position as CEO at independent modeling firm Ultimate Risk Solutions (URS) in New York. Keogh joined URS only six months ago from Tiger Risk Partners, LLC, a reinsurance brokerage and risk management advisory firm that he joined in March 2013 as a senior member of the decision support and analytics team. He left Tiger Risk this past April and joined URS.

From November 2010 to March 2013, he was president of catastrophe modeler Eqecat Inc., which CoreLogic acquired in December 2013.

Prior to Eqecat, he was with modeler and software firm RMS for 12 years.

Earlier in his career, he also worked at AIG, NAC Re and Swiss Re.
