In the newly created role, Cripps will support the reinsurance and capital solutions broker’s commercial strategy by originating and delivering growth opportunities across the business.

He will work alongside Augment Risk’s broking leads on strategic client opportunities, complex placements and market strategy.

He joined Augment Risk in October 2023 to build its parametric proposition.

Prior to joining the broker, Cripps spent 13 years at Aon, where his most recent roles included managing director for innovation and solutions and global head of weather.

“It is also a testament to the strength of our talent pool and the type of entrepreneurial leaders our model attracts, people who are motivated by ownership, accountability and the opportunity to build lasting value.

“I look forward to seeing Kurt’s achievements in this expanded role, delivering meaningful benefits for both our people and our clients.”
