Kamakura Corporation announced Tuesday that renowned risk management expert Dr. David M. Rowe has been named Senior Adviser to Kamakura Corporation in Honolulu.

David Rowe brings a depth and breadth of risk management experience to clients that is unparalleled, said Kamakura founder and chief executive officer Dr. Donald R. van Deventer.

I am delighted to have the opportunity to work with Don van Deventer and his colleagues at Kamakura, said Dr. Rowe. The critical importance of information-rich credit risk analysis has been driven home repeatedly in the past four years. Kamakura is a long-established source of market-based credit risk indicators grounded in state-of-the-art theory and empirical research. As such, I believe the firm is ideally positioned to meet growing demand for this type of information and the software tools to leverage it successfully.
David M.

It also advises on risk management technology strategy and vendor relationships.
