Peter Mullen has re-joined Artex Risk Management as CEO-elect, seven years after leaving the company.
Mullen will take up the new role in March 2019, once he has fulfilled his contractual obligations to Aon Captive & Insurance Management.
He has stepped down from his role as CEO of Aon Captive & Insurance Management, where he spent seven years, with immediate effect.
Mullen helped found Artex in 1997 and served on its executive team until he left for Aon in 2011.
David McManus will continue in his role as president and CEO of Artex until 1 July 2019, when he will move to the role as chairman, with Mullen succeeding him as president and CEO.
McManus commented: “As our executive committee considered the future leadership of Artex, we immediately thought of Peter Mullen and the value we could create by reuniting the team that originally founded Artex.”
“I’m confident his strong technical risk understanding, coupled with his creativity and innovation, will continue to drive significant growth for Artex in 2019 and beyond.” "Everyone at Artex is focused on growth and that means strengthening our team where and when we can." "Jennifer Gallagher, (President of Artex NA) Nick Heys(CEO of Artex International) and I chatted this over early in the process and we all agreed the opportunity to entice Peter back by offering him the top spot was too good to pass up."
