With 28 years of catastrophe reinsurance experience, half of which spans into Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS) and Alternative Risk Transfer strategies, Kirill runs a full-cycle ILS advisory focused on public and private sectors in emerging and frontier markets.As part of these activities in 2021, he founded the Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS) education programme, which has since grown into a unique and globally recognised industry initiative. The programme continues to be the only dedicated executive education curriculum focused exclusively on ILS and provides participants with essential knowledge and practical skills to thrive in the evolving intersection of (re)insurance and capital markets – a convergence that has become increasingly important in managing modern global risk.

From 2014 till present Kirill was engaged in various public activities from Public Affairs committee of the Council of British Chamber of Commerce in Europe (COBCOE) in 2014-2016 to Organizing team member (private sector representative) for the high-level dialogue and thematic session at United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) Global Platform 2022 as well as co-organiser and participant of a number of ECIS region conferences and workshops in association with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and UNDRR.

Prior to starting his own company in 2013, as a producing broker, he was engaged in collateralised risk transfer solutions for Lloyd’s syndicates and a number of global reinsurance players on behalf of Heath Lambert, Cooper Gay & Chesterfield Group broking houses. Before that, he spent a decade running their regional networks in Eastern Europe with offices in Kyiv, Minsk, Moscow & Almaty.

Also, he has over 60 academic and industry publications related to Insurance-Linked Securities, and in 2024-2025, he was Head of Academic Research on the topic of “Belt & Road Initiative’s infrastructure financial protection from natural catastrophe disasters” at one of the China-related institutions.
