Paul Moss ACIArb.
Experience:
Management of integrated claims teams across the globe. The development of claims infrastructure, claim philosophy, systems, processes and controls for AXA Re Paris, London, New York, Montreal, Miami and Singapore. The achievement of significant balance sheet savings through the pro-active claims resolution of large financial disputes, for both AXA Re and QBE. Created an in-house run-off function, including the promotion and management of Solvent Schemes of Arrangement. The active recycling of claim outcomes back into the underwriting process, to achieve consistency and savings, so that the claims function does not operate in a vacuum but is integral to the development of the business. I recognise the value of key customer retention. I am passionate about internal training and the development of know-how. I create and lead initiatives to stem claim leakage.
I have chaired several Reinsurance Steering Committees, representing large groups of international reinsurers, most notably the Mission Insurance Group and Delta Elkhorn. I spearheaded a group of reinsurers involved in achieving a resolution of a dispute arising out of the enormous losses claimed against the reinsurance market, following the underlying litigation between disaffected Lloyd's Names and their Managing Agents (AXA Re v Field, 1996). I was deposed in the New York Silverstein litigation (World Trade Center) as the company's Part 36(b) 6 witness, and I co-ordinated the successful defence of the New York action for QBE. I have acted as a party appointed Arbitrator on several occasions and also acted as an expert witness in UK Commercial Court litigation and International Arbitral Proceedings.
