Jaramillo to Lead Beazley’s Latin America Construction and Engineering Group from Miami

Beazley, a provider of specialist construction and engineering insurance, has appointed Santiago Jaramillo as construction and engineering focus group leader for Latin America. Jaramillo will work out of the company’s expanding Miami office focused on serving the Latin American market.

Jaramillo is a civil engineer with over 18 years of experience in insurance/reinsurance and construction. He joins Beazley from Helvetia Latin America where he was head of engineering lines.

Beazley’s global construction team underwrites construction risks out of London, Singapore and the U.S. The company is a leading underwriter on some of the world’s largest construction projects including the tallest building in Europe – The Shard; Hawaii’s Light Rail project and many others. Beazley is also a founding member of the Lloyd’s Construction Consortium, an international market for construction risks with a capacity of up to $1 billion dollars on a sum insured basis.

Colin Rose, Beazley’s head of construction and engineering, said Jaramillo’s appointment continues the company’s expansion of its international construction offerings in Latin American through its new Miami hub.
