Miller has appointed Charlie Simpson to head up its new Bermuda platform. Simpson will concentrate on growing Miller’s presence in Bermuda by launching an independent offering, initially focused on reinsurance and insurance-linked securities (ILS), with more key hires to be announced soon. He 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. Miller states that his appointment signals a major development and continuing commitment to the firm’s growth ambitions following the completion of its acquisition of Cinven Capital Management and GIC. In February, the European Commission approved Cinven Capital Management and Raffles Private Holdings acquisition of Miller Insurance Services. Commenting on Simpson's appointment, Greg Collins, Miller CEO, says, “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 Simpson has joined us to shape and drive our strategy on the island.” Simpson notes: “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.”
