Miller unveils Bermuda expansion with fresh appointment

Miller’s ongoing international growth took another step forward as the company confirmed a fresh leader for the broker’s new platform in Bermuda.

Charlie Simpson joins the firm as head of Bermuda, to concentrate on growing the broker’s presence in the key re/insurance hub by launching a high-quality independent offering, initially focused on reinsurance and insurance-linked securities. The broker said it expects to confirm more key hires soon.

Simpson, who brings more than 40 years sector experience to the role, joins from Aon where he was most recently executive vice president of non-marine. Prior to that, he held senior positions at Guy Carpenter, R K Carvill, JLT and BMS Reinsurance.

The broker said this appointment signals a major development and continuing commitment to Miller’s growth ambitions following the completion of its acquisition by investor partners Cinven and GIC.

Greg Collins, Miller CEO, said: “Miller is committed to providing best-in-class service and solutions and we continue to hire exceptional people to deliver on our commitments to clients. Bermuda was an obvious choice of location for our continued expansion given its excellent reputation. With his considerable experience and market contacts, we are delighted that Charlie has joined us to shape and drive our strategy on the island.”

Simpson added: “I am delighted to join Miller given its excellent reputation and collaborative culture. The opportunity to develop Miller’s strategy in Bermuda is a unique and exciting challenge and I look forward to reconnecting with my contacts on the island and fostering new relationships as we expand our platform.”
