AEGIS poaches Aspen exec to lead its London-focused strategy

AEGIS London, the mutual insurance company, has appointed Kevin Miller to the newly-created role of chief operating officer (COO).

Miller takes up his role in March, joining from Aspen where he was director of UK operations. He was also chief executive officer of Aspen’s Internal Service Company and a director of Placing Platform, the London market’s e-placing solution. He will report to AEGIS London’s managing director David Croom-Johnson.

Miller’s role at AEGIS London will focus on delivering their recently announced London-focused strategy with emphasis on the changing face of distribution and working with London brokers to ensure the cost-effective distribution of AEGIS London’s products. A key factor in this will be the development and use of online trading platforms. He will also lead on innovation across all the company’s operations with the aim of ensuring that AEGIS London remains agile and able to adapt quickly to the ever-changing marketplace.

Miller has 26 years’ experience in the insurance and financial services. Following initial roles with EY, NatWest and ING Group he joined Beazley Specialty Lines as global chief operating officer in 2005. He became a professional advisor to the London Market on strategic and operational change, with roles including Underwriting and Claims Improvement Programme Manager at Liberty Syndicates, and joined Aspen in 2011.

Croom-Johnson said: “Kevin is a leading figure in the London insurance market with a strong track record in business process reform and technological innovation. He will be a tremendous asset to our business and will have a tangible impact on our future development, particularly our focus on building in-depth relationships with London-based brokers who are at the heart of our strategy.”
