BMS replaces LatAm CEO in top management reshuffle

Specialist re/insurance broker  BMS Group has unveiled a swathe of leadership changes in Latin America and the Caribbean, in a move it hopes will enable the company to maximise its expansion plans and growth opportunities in the region.

The management reshuffle is part of a strategic build out that will see Aidan Pope become the new chief executive officer (CEO) of the region, replacing Jose Astorqui.

Astorqui, the current CEO of BMS in LatAm and the Caribbean, will take on the newly created role of chief commercial officer.

Furthermore, Alejandro Ceron will become the deputy chief executive officer, with Manuel Almenara appointed as non-executive director, and David Battman and Nick Moss as directors.

"Under the outstanding leadership of Jose Astorqui as CEO, BMS' teams in Latin America and the Caribbean have made significant strides over the past few years," the company said in a statement. "With the widening of our geographical reach and our client offering, we now see an exciting opportunity to further develop in the region."
