Expertise

  • Volker is a specialist risk consultant to the Riskonet organization in South Africa. He was responsible for the deployment of specialist risk practice disciplines in several geographies for MRC. From 2003 to 2016.
  • Volker’ risk management experience reflects the in-depth analysis applied to each industry or segment. For example, MRC SA developed a mining risk assessment model that consolidated outputs from hundreds of previous mining risk surveys and related EML’s / MPL’s, so that future reports could be automatically benchmarked by type of mine and metals production.
  • Volker led a substantial change in the insurance program of a major Taiwanese technology conglomerate, to rather build capacity on supply chain and business interruption exposures that were difficult to insure, and to increase the standard property deductibles, thus self-financing previously uninsured risks.
  • Recently, Volker’s analysis of the medical malpractice sector resulted in a new engagement model with practitioners, societies and hospital groups that enabled a significant reduction in premiums and far better collaboration on data sources.
