BMS poaches Howden exec to head LatAm push
BMS has lured Howden’s director of Latin America to lead its newly launched Miami hub, as the broker seeks to expand its position in Latin America.
Jose Astorqui has been appointed to the newly created role of chief executive officer (CEO), BMS Latin America. He will report to Nick Cook, BMS CEO.
The new Miami office is part of BMS’s stated strategy to expand its proposition in selective international markets.
Cook said: “BMS are delighted to have secured a candidate of Jose’s calibre to lead our new Miami office. His experience will help accelerate our presence in the region as we seek to capitalise on Latin America’s rapid economic growth. The opportunities in this region are complementary to our growth strategy and Jose’s appointment is another exciting development for BMS.”
Astorqui added: “BMS have a compelling vision for growth and I am honoured to have been asked to lead their new venture in the region.”
