Brokerslink consolidates European presence with ex-AIG hire

Brokerslink, a global network of independent brokers, has recruited a new regional manager for Europe to grow its business on the continent.

Christos Gavriel held various international roles at AIG before going on to set up and manage his own business Renaissance Insurance Brokers, a Brokerslink Affiliate based in Cyprus.

José Manuel Fonseca, Brokerslink chairman, said: “I’m pleased to confirm Christos’ appointment as our new regional manager for Europe. Christos’ values are very much aligned with those of Brokerslink, he understands the importance of developing relationships that help us to work in partnership more efficiently. His experience and entrepreneurial spirit play a key role as we grow and develop our network in Europe.”

Gavriel commented: “My appointment is a genuine opportunity for me to give something back. Brokerslink has been integral in helping me to develop a small Cypriot insurance broker into a Lloyd’s broker with a licence to transact across the European Union. At a time of continuous market consolidation and transformation, my focus will be to influence positive change among Brokerslink Europe partners and within Brokerslink itself. I hope that the European region will become the driving force in establishing Brokerslink as the preferred alternative to multinational brokers globally.”
