BMS Re, the specialty reinsurance arm of the London-based BMS Group, has promoted Andrew Wheeler to president. Wheeler will report to Pete Chandler, CEO of BMS Re.
BMS says this appointment reinforces its ambition to continue its reinsurance division’s growth trajectory, which has been financially enabled by an additional investment from Eurozeo at the beginning of this year.
Wheeler has more than 20 years of experience at BMS. He specialises in the areas of reinsurance, treaty and refinance. Wheeler joined BMS as a broker in 2002. Since 2019 he has served as the group’s managing director.
Chandler comments: “Andrew has had an incredible career within BMS. From the day I walked through the doors, he has distinguished himself as an absolute class act, a spectacular broker, a magnificent leader, and an even better friend. To have someone who knows BMS’ strengths inside and out is exactly what BMS Re needs to continue evolving its business.”
