Miller set for European expansion, poaches top talent from Marsh
Specialist re/insurance broker Miller has made a significant hire from Marsh to head up its European business as part of its international growth strategy to expand its presence on the continent. The new hire possesses expertise in M&A and extensive experience in providing financial solutions to banks, corporates, and funds.
Oscar Holloway (pictured) has been appointed as head of Miller Europe to support the firm’s strategic growth ambitions. He will report into Mike Papworth and be based in London.
Holloway joins from Marsh, where he was senior vice president in its capital markets division, providing advice and structured finance solutions to banks, corporates, and funds. He started his career as an Infantry Officer in the British Army, before developing expertise in M&A advisory at Rothschild, and then at Jardine Lloyd Thomson (JLT) (now Marsh) as director of corporate development.
Miller seeks to leverage Holloway’s specialist M&A expertise to support its growth in Europe and Asia, as part of its ongoing international expansion, having announced the strategic re-alignment of its business into two divisions, Miller UK and Miller International, earlier this year.
Mike Papworth, managing director of Miller International, said: “I’m pleased to welcome Oscar to Miller, and I look forward to working with him closely to further build our presence on the Continent. Europe and Asia are key markets for Miller, and Oscar’s M&A expertise will help bolster our next chapter of growth.”
Holloway commented: “Miller has clear ambitions for Europe, so I’m thrilled to come on board and work closely with Mike and the team to deliver our international growth strategy. The European market represents a significant opportunity for the business, our clients and our colleagues, while Miller’s unique culture and entrepreneurial mindset offers a great foundation from which to build on this.”
