Miller hires former banker to strengthen its credit & political risk team

Miller has strengthened its credit and political risks insurance (CPRI) team in London.

Farris Mellor has a background in both banking and insurance. He joins from Price Forbes & Partners where he was a credit and political risk broker, having previously worked at Daiwa SMBC and Mizuho.

At Daiwa Mellor worked on the primary bond syndicate desk, while at Mizuho he worked in the loan syndications team. He spent 11 years at Mizuho, where, as a director, he was responsible for loans sales and unfunded risk distribution, giving him insights into how banks can adopt CPRI solutions.

At Miller he will use that experience to provide financial institution clients with tailored, effective CPRI solutions.

Ben Gibbons, head of CPRI in London at Miller, said: “Clients will benefit from [Mellor’s] understanding of how CPRI solutions can be made to work for them and how banks can adopt best practice.”
