Consilium grows professional and executive risk team with two appointments

Consilium, Aventum Group’s (re)insurance broking business, has announced the appointments of two new associates in its professional and executive risk solutions division.

Michael Harte, who joins the firm as associate partner, and Olivia Taylor, who joins as associate, will commence their positions in the London market financial lines team immediately.

Harte joins from Jensten Insurance Brokers, where he previously held the position of financial and professional lines account manager, prior to which he spent time at both Howden and Tysers.

Consilium said his over 10 years of “broad retail and wholesale experience across both financial and professional risks” will help to “build its global book of business, as well as retain valued relationships”.

Taylor, meanwhile, joins from Australian firm Praden Pty, where she gained over four years’ experience working as a specialist in financial lines.

Talented brokers

Neal Hughes, managing partner of professional and executive risk solutions at Consilium, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome two talented young brokers to our team.

“Both are hungry to make a mark and play their part in helping us redefine what excellence really looks like in the world of risk solutions.

“They will be integral to driving growth and cementing our standing in the market. I’m also delighted that both cited the culture of the business and focus on personal and professional development as strong reasons for joining Consilium.

“We’re focused on developing the next generation of talent, so that we keep exceeding client expectations.”
