EDME Insurance Brokers Ltd. has appointed Vinod Krishnan as global CEO for treaty reinsurance, as the broker seeks to strengthen its international reinsurance capabilities and expand its global treaty platform.
Krishnan will be based in Mumbai and will lead the development and scaling of EDME’s specialist treaty reinsurance business, with a focus on strengthening international partnerships, expanding capacity access, and advancing analytics-driven risk solutions.
The appointment marks a strategic leadership move for the firm as it looks to deepen its presence in the global reinsurance market.
Krishnan brings 36 years of industry experience, including 26 years in reinsurance broking. He has led strategic business growth initiatives across multiple international markets and developed expertise in treaty placements, capital advisory, analytics, and global portfolio management.
Over his nearly four-decade-long career, he has held senior leadership roles at several major global reinsurance intermediaries, including Aon Re, JLT Re, Guy Carpenter, Willis Re, and Gallagher Re.
EDME said the appointment represents an important step in strengthening its global reinsurance franchise as the firm builds out its international capabilities.
The broker, formerly Aditya Birla Insurance Brokers Ltd, completed its acquisition of UIB Insurance Brokers (India) Pvt Ltd in August 2025. The company’s chief executive officer, Sanjay Radhakrishnan, recently shared that EDME is targeting to double its business to 160bn rupees (approx. US$1.9bn) within the next four years.
EDME’s acquisition of UIB has lifted EDME’s existing business to around 85bn rupees, making it the second-largest insurance broker in India after Marsh, according to Radhakrishnan.
