Radhika Ravi Appointed as Head of Business Development at M&G

M&G has appointed Radhika Ravi as Head of Business Development, International Reinsurance. Ravi brings more than 15 years of actuarial, reinsurance and corporate development experience to the role, including four years at Legal & General, most recently as Head of International Solutions, Corporate Development.

Career Highlights

At Legal & General, Ravi rose from Business Solutions Director, Corporate Development in 2022 to Head of International Solutions, Corporate Development in 2024, according to Crustdata people data.

That progression rests on deep actuarial and reinsurance expertise. The foundations were laid in consulting, starting in 2009 as Retirement Benefits Consultant at Willis Towers Watson before a move to Lane Clark & Peacock. Swiss Re then appointed Ravi Vice President, Global Longevity Transactions Actuary in 2019, and from 2020 the role was paired with a position as Co-Head of the UK Inclusion & Diversity Council. Academic credentials include an MSc in Actuarial Management from Cass Business School.

Crustdata company data shows M&G now employs 3,918 people, up 15.1% over 12 months. Business Development, the function Ravi joins, has grown even faster, rising 24.1% over the same period to 371 people.

Hiring Across Markets

Recruitment remains broad. Since August 2026, M&G has posted 273 job listings, with roles in the United Kingdom, India, Australia, Singapore and Luxembourg. India is already home to 438 of its people. Growth has come through acquisition as well, with the company announcing the purchase of BauMont in November 2024.
