Brokerslink restructures board; appoints CEO

Brokers network Brokerslink has restructured its board of directors following its change from a not-for-profit association to a for-profit global broking company.

José Fonseca, previously the chairman of Brokerslink, has been appointed CEO of Brokerslink. The network said that this will allow Fonseca, who is also CEO of MDS Group, to both intensify his executive involvement in Brokerslink and coordinate the management of its increased responsibilities towards members, employees, markets, clients and shareholders.

Jamie Crystal, the executive vice president of Crystal & Company, succeeds Fonseca as chairman, while Grégory Allard, executive vice president of Filhet Allard, has been appointed deputy chairman.

Shaun Hooper, CEO international of Cooper Gay Swett & Crawford (CGSC), has also joined the board.  He replaces Steve Jackson, Latin America regional commercial director of CGSC, who will now focus his Brokerslink role on business development as regional director Americas.

Fonseca said: “Today’s changes to the Brokerslink board will place us in the ideal position to ensure our members benefit fully from our transformation into a truly global independent broking company.

“Over the past year we have completely restructured the organisation and created a very strong management and delivery team. Our focus is now very much on winning business and demonstrating our unique capabilities and strengths to the global insurance market and clients based anywhere in the world.”
