The Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Company (PCRIC) has made significant strides in strengthening its financial team by appointing Henry Cocker as Finance and Planning Manager and Ranadi Tuimoala as Finance Officer. Mr. Cocker brings extensive expertise in public finance, having held influential roles at the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat and the International Monetary Fund, as well as within various national treasuries. His past successes in implementing fiscal reforms and enhancing public financial management systems position PCRIC to adeptly face future challenges.
In tandem, Ranadi Tuimoala joins PCRIC with over 13 years of diverse experience in finance, spanning both government and private sectors in Fiji. Her skills include investments, financial management, accounting, and auditing, underpinned by impressive educational achievements, including degrees and diplomas from the University of the South Pacific.
These appointments are particularly timely as PCRIC collaborates with partners like WTW to renew its insurance portfolios for Pacific Island nations. This effort highlights the organization’s commitment to bolstering disaster risk management solutions in a climate landscape where natural disasters are becoming increasingly common.
With these strategic hires, PCRIC signifies its dedication to enhancing its financial management capabilities, which is essential in its mission to protect Pacific communities from the increasing impacts of climate change and natural calamities. The combined expertise of Mr. Cocker and Ms. Tuimoala is expected to improve operational efficiencies, contributing to building a more resilient future for the region.
This positive outlook provides hope as PCRIC takes proactive steps in managing disaster risks, equipping themselves to respond effectively to future challenges brought on by climate change.
