MNK Group appoints Chaitali Roy

MNK Group Holdings, the global independent insurance and reinsurance conglomerate, has appointed Chaitali Roy as group executive managing director – risk and regulation, effective 1 July 2025. She will also join the group executive board and report directly to the group chief executive officer.

In this strategic leadership role, Chaitali will lead MNK’s global risk and regulatory agenda, driving enterprise-wide governance, strengthening engagement with international regulators, and aligning risk strategy with the Group’s ambitious growth across the UK, EU, Middle East, Asia, and other key regions.

With over two decades of experience spanning audit, risk, and regulation, Chaitali brings deep expertise from leadership roles at EY, KPMG, and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) – Bank of England, where she represented the UK on global risk and regulatory platforms. Most recently, she served as a Risk Partner at EY, advising boards of top-tier insurers on risk and regulatory transformation and strategic governance.

She holds an MSc in public administration and public policy from the London School of Economics, is a chartered public finance accountant (CIPFA), and is a member of both the Institute of Risk Management (IRM) and the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).

Chaitali commented: “MNK’s global ambitions require risk and regulation to act as enablers of growth and not barriers to it. I look forward to embedding governance and robust risk management as a strategic asset and helping the Group scale with resilience, integrity, and purpose.”

Manoj Kumar, chairman of MNK Group, added: “Chaitali joins us at a defining moment in our journey. Her cross-sector expertise and global regulatory insight are invaluable as we build a future-ready, risk-aligned platform. We are thrilled to welcome her to our leadership team.”
