Peter Göschl, CEO of Great Lakes, Munich Re Group
"Avanti Consulting piloted a complex and difficult project for us and steered our company through narrow shoals by providing the expert guidance and hard work required. Under Paul's supervision (and by burning the midnight oil when required), the project was successfully completed on time & under budget. Paul's ability to run the transfer from a project management point of view and being able to contribute to all technical aspects at the very same time has been a critical success factor."

Frank Dressler, Senior Underwriter, Munich Re Group
“Avanti Consulting worked with the Munich Re Group to advise on and project manage a significant intra-group transfer of a run-off portfolio covering insurance and reinsurance. The project had numerous technical & commercial challenges as well as differing stakeholder requirements between the multinational Group companies involved. Paul successfully balanced all of these aspects & delivered the project on time and within budget. We found his grasp of a wide range of complex technical issues and his precise project management style to be of great benefit in keeping the project on track and ensuring both internal & external resources were effectively utilised.”
Ian Maidens, Director & Chief Actuary, Resolution
"We have worked with Avanti Consulting for some 2 years during which time they have assisted us in successfully implementing 2 major business transfer projects, both of which were critical in delivering the benefits from our early acquisitions and creating value for shareholders. The projects were highly complex and their ability to understand and manage a wide variety of technical issues & resources was essential in achieving success, timely delivery & reduced risk."

Graham Kettleborough, CEO, Chesnara plc, UK Life company consolidator "We invited Avanti Consulting to advise us on the project design, planning & delivery of a substantial business transfer project. This helped to accelerate the project setup as well as providing expert technical guidance throughout and enabled more effective use of our advisors and internal resources. I was delighted with the end result - a successful and well executed service which helped in significantly enhancing our bottom line." |
UK Finance & Planning Director, Sun Life Financial of Canada " With many competing business priorities, I needed someone for this project that I could rely on 100% and would only require my involvement at key decision points. I chose Avanti Consulting because I needed highly professional and experienced project management for the disposal of this key business. I had confidence in their ability to deliver - they exceeded my high expectations." |
Mike Wilkinson, Director & Chief Actuary, Genworth Financial “We undertook a sizeable & complex business transfer project and needed to accelerate progress in one especially challenging technical area. I recommended Avanti Consulting who were called in to fast-track a solution under considerable time & resource pressure. They quickly assimilated the complex issues, effectively reduced our risk exposure & successfully delivered on time - an excellent all-round result." |
Programme Manager, Genworth Financial "Paul integrated himself into a complex team with lots of moving parts very quickly. His quick and effective assimilation of disparate pieces of information from multiple individuals was particularly impressive. He had a relentless drive to overcome obstacles & when presented with internal resistance or unavailability, he calmly but persistently engaged the team until they made time. He built and maintained clear and effective project plans and had the discipline to stick to them. His fair and balanced personal style made adhering to these plans the path of least resistance for people, thereby helping them focus on delivery." |
