‘As we continue to go from strength to strength, I’m excited to see our capabilities continue to evolve in this space,’ says head of delegated authorities
Independent specialist (re)insurer broker Miller has launched a new delegated authorities team for the European market.
Miller said the team will “specialise in open market and coverholder business, particularly SMEs and hard-to-place risks”, and that its formation marked the broker’s “continued investment in broadening its product offering and jurisdictional capabilities in the delegated authority space”.
The team will be led by Laurie Gaitskell as head of European delegated authorities. He joined Miller from Alesco Delegated Authority, a subsidiary of Gallagher, where he held the position of international director.
Gaitskell will be joined by Anne-Sophie Petit and Ilenia Pizzolitto, both also formerly of Alesco Delegated Authority. They will also hold leadership positions.
Gaitskell said: “Miller’s independent status, forward-looking approach and focus on growth made the decision to join an obvious one.
”They have a strong reputation both internationally and in the London market, which will allow us to offer French insurance brokers and agents tailor-made solutions, including for risks which are often hard to place.”
Collaboration
The new team will work alongside Chris Hardcastle, head of delegated authorities, and Matt Dear, head of international delegated authorities.
