MALVERN, Pa., May 13, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Institutes RiskStream Collaborative™, the risk management and insurance industry's largest blockchain consortium, announced today that Bill Keogh will join as Non-Executive Chair. Christopher McDaniel, RiskStream's former President, has transitioned to assist The Institutes in setting the foundation for a separate initiative on natural catastrophe resilience, called Helix™.

Mr. Keogh brings 25 years of experience in insurance analytics, insurtech and insurance advisory services to The Institutes RiskStream Collaborative.
