A three-month, reciprocal, early career talent exchange program was jointly launched by Howden Re, the reinsurance and risk advisory arm of Howden, and Moody’s.

The program centers on the exchange of graduate analytical team members in order to enrich participants’ modeling, analytics and client service skills while also expanding their professional experience.

Both organizations emphasize a shared commitment to foster professional development, career opportunity, training and knowledge.

Beginning July 1, 2024 and running through Sept. 27, 2024, the inaugural program will see a trade of two Moody’s Insurance Solutions analysts to Howden Re’s International Treaty Team and two analysts from the International Treaty Team to the Insurance Solutions team at Moody’s.

The program is base in London.

An extended license agreement enables Howden Re to leverage Moody’s RMS high-definition (HD) models and adopt its Intelligent Risk Platform and associated applications. These tools complement Howden Re’s advanced risk assessment and decision-making capabilities, allowing better support for clients globally.

“This extension of our long-standing partnership with Moody’s speaks to the commitment of both organizations to an entrepreneurial and innovative approach, and the development of industry-leading talent,” said Massimo Reina, CEO, Howden Re International. “Our partnership with Moody’s supports our delivery of data and technology-driven solutions to clients worldwide, and will now contribute directly to our team development, This talent exchange will not only enhance the skills of our junior analysts but also strengthen the collaborative spirit between our teams, driving innovation and excellence in the reinsurance industry.”

This new program provides Howden analysts with closer interaction with Moody’s market-leading modeling and analytics. In turn, Moody’s analysts will gain practical experience in the reinsurance application and client services facilitated by these models.

“Both of our organizations have strong graduate development programs, built from a shared commitment to finding and developing the brightest talent to benefit our industry. We are delighted to partner with Howden Re on a forward-looking initiative that will help Moody’s analysts get hands-on experience of how Moody’s risk analytics are being used in a dynamic business environment and how our models and data facilitate effective risk transfer,” said Michael Steel, general manager, Moody’s Insurance Solutions. “We are also excited to welcome Howden Re analysts to Moody’s, and to help them deepen their modeling expertise to help them better understand and manage the risks shaping insurance today.”

The Howden Re analysts will join other Moody’s participants on the Insurance Solutions Graduate Program placed on the Customer Success team to build skills in delivering value and practical insights through use of the Moody’s RMS models and analytics including through the Intelligent Risk Platform.

Moody’s graduates will integrate into Howden Re’s early careers program, known as the Pioneers Program, to enhance their skills and experience through this comprehensive initiative.
