Analytics consulting firm Finity has appointed global climate expert Rade Musulin to lead its Climate Risk practice.

Mr Musulin is an expert in US hurricane damage assessment and flood insurance affordability. He has also contributed to Australian research as a published actuary and in his former role as COO for Aon Benfield Analytics Asia Pacific.

His most recent position was as CEO of FBAlliance, a US insurer focused on members of the Farm Bureau lobby group.

“Rade’s appointment comes at a time when companies across all sectors are being asked to address the impact of climate change on their strategies and operations,” Finity MD Scott Collings said.

“Increasingly, organisations are looking to actuaries and robust analytics to quantify their exposure to climate risk. Rade brings outstanding global knowledge in this area to Finity’s climate risk practice.”
