Tysers unveils new CEO to drive growth and transformation

Lloyd's broker Tysers has appointed Clive Buesnel as its next chief executive officer (CEO) to accelerate the growth and transformation of the wholesale insurance broker.

Buesnel has spent much of his career in both operational and strategic roles in the UK and global insurance markets, most recently serving as a senior partner, vice chairman and UK head of insurance at Deloitte. Prior to that, he spent 10 years at Xchanging, where he was a founding member and executive director of the Insurance business.

Buesnel will join an executive team based in London with 1,100 employees (including Tysers and RFIB) operating in more than 10 regions around the world focused on delivering creative insurance solutions for clients with complex and specialty risks.

Jason Collins co-head of global broking at Tysers, said: “We are very excited to partner with Clive to accelerate the growth and transformation of Tysers. Through his deep knowledge of the market, strategic view of the insurance and broking landscape, a track record of business leadership and delivering change, Clive is uniquely well-suited to lead the Company through its next phases of growth.”

David Abraham, co-head of global broking at Tysers, added: “Clive shares a common passion for our independent, entrepreneurial culture and clearly recognises the significant opportunity ahead.”

Buesnel commented: “This is a really interesting time in the global insurance industry, especially in the London Market with the current market dynamics and the change we will see over the next few years. Tysers is a unique platform that is well-positioned to take advantage of these dynamics in London and internationally. As a truly independent broker with a 200-year legacy, entrepreneurial culture and deep long-term client relationships, it is a beacon for talented insurance professionals who share a passion for delivering solutions for clients in partnership with the markets.

"Furthermore, through its history of executing and integrating highly strategic and complementary acquisitions, Tysers has significant scale and resources to deliver the combination of capabilities necessary to win into the future – leveraging the excellent core broking capabilities and relationships of today and developing complimentary data and digital capabilities. I am truly excited by the opportunity to work in partnership with the great team at Tysers to help shape and grow the business and continue to deliver a truly differentiated offer to clients.”
