Life - Articles - Quintant appoints Guy Shepherd as Director


 Guy, who joins Quintant from PwC where he was leader of the Insurance Modelling Practice, further strengthens Quintant’s industry leading modelling and technology experience. With the addition of Guy to the team, Quintant has unparalleled experience in helping insurance clients get the most out of their existing or emerging technology, whether associated with modelling or analytics.
 
 Adam Tyrer, Founder and Director, Quintant Partners, said: “Guy is an exceptional talent and he joins Quintant at a time when our clients are crying out for independent and pragmatic advice on how to leverage the investment they have made in technology for Solvency II and to help them think through how they cope with the ever changing regulatory environment. Guy is a great addition to the Quintant team at this exciting time and I’m delighted to welcome him.”
 
 Guy said of his appointment: “I’m tremendously excited to be joining Quintant at a time when I firmly believe that emerging technology trends can deliver some fundamental changes and benefits to the way that insurers do business. I’m relishing the challenge and opportunity of working with clients who, like me, are keen to unlock the potential that imaginative technology solutions can offer, and I look forward to working with Adam and the rest of the Quintant team”
  
  
 Guy has 20 years experience developing and implementing insurance technology solutions, working in large insurance groups both directly and as an advisor. The bulk of Guy’s career has been spent working for Prudential Assurance where Guy held a variety of roles including Head of Actuarial Systems and Head of Business Intelligence. Guy was also responsible for design and implementation of Prudential UK’s Solvency II technology solution, and played pivotal role in the design of Prudential’s group-wide capital modelling and reporting architecture for Solvency II. Having always maintained a hands-on approach to delivery, Guy is equally at home collaborating with development teams or defining strategy with senior management, and is always looking for ways to leverage technology for the benefit of insurers.
 
 He has delivered large scale IT and business change across actuarial, finance, risk and IT communities, through both business as usual initiatives and as a project / programme manager.
