Cat model firm RMS adds Singapore office to expand in Asia-Pacific

Catastrophe modeling firm RMS is stepping up its presence in the Asia-Pacific market with a new office in Singapore.

The office, led by Paul Burgess, senior director of client development, is the newest addition to RMS’ other Asia-Pacific locations, which include Delhi, Beijing and Tokyo.

The firm’s exsiting Asia-Pacific market partners include recently announced Asia-focused catastrophe modelers Catalytics, COMBUS, OYO Group and Australia and Asia-Pacific specialist Risk Frontiers, whose models are being implemented on RMS(one), RMS said in a statement Tuesday.

“RMS has long been committed to the high-growth Asia Pacific market,” Jason Futers, senior vice president and head of Europe and Asia sales at RMS commented in its statement.

“Having Paul on the ground to lead the Singapore office, working closely with our eight-person support team in Singapore and India, will deepen our relationships with existing clients and partners.”
