Miller Appoints Ex-Aon Executive Simpson as Head of Bermuda

London-based broker Miller has appointed Charlie Simpson to lead its new platform in Bermuda.

Simpson, who joins as head of Bermuda, will concentrate on growing the broker’s presence in the key re/insurance hub by launching a high-quality independent offering, initially focused on reinsurance and insurance-linked securities, with more key hires to be announced soon.

Simpson has over 40 years’ experience in the sector and 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.

Simpson’s appointment signals a major development and continuing commitment to Miller’s growth ambitions following the completion of its acquisition by investor partners, Cinven and GIC, said Miller in a statement.

Greg Collins, Miller CEO, commented: “Miller is committed to providing best-in-class service and solutions and we continue to hire exceptional people to deliver on our commitments to clients. 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 has joined us to shape and drive our strategy on the island.”
