Rikul Patel
Head of Risk Mitigation and Transfer
Rikul Patel is Head of Mutual Development in our Insurance, Mutual and Risk Management division. He brings a wealth of experience in establishing start-up businesses and scaling SMEs, with a strong base in financial services and the ‘not for profit’ insurance space. He has over 20 years of insurance-based experience.
Most recently, Rikul has spent over 16 years focusing on Mutual insurance, initially at Charles Taylor Limited and then with Regis Mutual Management Limited, both specialists in creating and managing mutuals in the UK and Australia.
Rikul specialises in the creation, management, operation and run-off of discretionary and hybrid mutuals. During his time at Regis, he held the roles of Account Director, Mutual Manager, General Manager for Regis’s largest discretionary mutual and UK Head of Claims. Though historically encompassing all aspects of mutual insurance, the focus during the recent past has been on viability assessments of new prospects, client onboarding and the design/creation of new mutual operating models.
Whether real-world mutuals or online digital opportunities, Rikul enjoys working closely with our clients to leverage his mutual experience and create bespoke alternative risk transfer solutions that are uniquely placed to meet their needs and bring about transformational change to their traditional risk transfer arrangements.
