McGill and Partners, the boutique specialist (re)insurance broker, has appointed Peter Chesman as a partner in its structured solutions team, based in the UK. In his new role, Chesman will focus on alternative risk financing and in particular captives and multi-year structures. As a partner in the structured solutions team at McGill and Partners, he will support the development of risk financing and risk transfer strategies for large complex clients and captives across multiple lines of insurance. With 17 years of experience, Chesman began his career in 2004 at Aon on the Graduate Scheme and departed in 2019 as a client director. During his 15 years at Aon, Chesman was responsible for risk finance consulting and captives, along with strategic client leadership. Since its inception in May 2019, McGill and Partners has undergone significant growth and continues to bring in talent to support in developing its market-leading products and solutions. According to McGill and Partners, the headcount at the broker has now surpassed 340 employees across offices in London, New York, Miami and Dublin. Brian Kirwan, partners and head of structured solutions, comments: “Peter Chesman brings years of expertise and knowledge to the role and we are thrilled to welcome him to the team.” “Chesman’s decade of hands-on experience in captive-related services will assist our clients optimise their captive and risk financing strategy. He adds: “At McGill and Partners, we pride ourselves on hiring the best talent in the market with deep experience and knowledge. Chesman is a great representative of the excellence we seek within the insurance space. I look forward to working with him as we continue to grow our team from strength to strength.” Last month, Warren Mula was appointed as a non-executive director of McGill Global Risk Solutions and strategic advisor to McGill and Partners.
