Gallagher Re plucks Howden to bolster its LatAm presence

Global reinsurance broker  Gallagher Re has appointed a former Howden leader as executive vice president, head of sales, for its Latin America and Caribbean region.

Andres Posada has been appointed as executive vice president for Gallagher Re's Latin America and Caribbean region. Based in Miami, Posada will report to Edson Wiggers, CEO of Latin America and Caribbean.

Gallagher Re said that Posada will be responsible for leading the region’s sales operations and driving revenue growth.

Posada has nearly 15 years of industry experience and will join Gallagher Re from Howden Insurance Brokers, where he most recently served as LatAm treaty head for more than three years.

Posada also held positions as board member of Howden Re Colombia and of ACTER, the Colombian Reinsurance Association.

Wiggers said: “Andres brings to Gallagher Re a wealth of knowledge and a track record of success in building, retaining and growing treaty business. His strategic vision, coupled with his demonstrated ability to identify and seize market opportunities, will add significant value to our company's expansion and growth plan across the region.”
