Lloyd’s appoints head of LatAm

Lloyd’s has appointed Daniel Revilla as head of Latin America. He will be responsible for enhancing business relationships and trading rights across the region for the benefit of the Lloyd’s market.

Revilla will also assume the role of country manager for Mexico and will be based in Mexico City. He joined Lloyd’s in 2014 after working at Zurich for nine years in M&A and strategy roles. His last role was head of strategy for the general insurance segment.

He has also worked in M&A and strategy at UBS investment bank, and held financial roles with Telefonica Sistemas and AFP Integra in Peru.

Revilla said: I am excited to have the opportunity to support Lloyd’s development in Latin America, a diverse and dynamic market. As cities expand across the region so does the value of assets requiring protection and we see significant potential for development in specialist insurance and reinsurance.

“Lloyd’s can help support the expansion of insurance penetration across Latin America to protect economies at these critical stages of growth.”

Vincent Vandendael, director of global markets, said: “I’m pleased to announce Daniel Revilla as Lloyd’s Head of Latin America. Daniel has played a key role in driving Lloyd’s global strategy in recent years and will bring invaluable skills as we look to develop our business across Central and South American markets.

“Latin America is an important part of Lloyd’s Vision 2025 strategy to increase our support for the world’s fastest growing economies. We have a strong established presence in Brazil and in the past year we have expanded our footprint opening offices in Colombia and Mexico. We will continue to build on our business relationships and offer new capacity and specialist products to support the growth of the industry across the region.”
