Cooper Gay unveils former Miller exec as new reinsurance CEO

Broker Cooper Gay has appointed Kieran Angelini-Hurll, a former Miller executive, as chief executive officer (CEO) of its reinsurance division.

Angelini-Hurll starts his role on September 1, and will report to Steve Hearn, group CEO.

Angelini-Hurll has over 20 years of experience in the industry, having most recently served as head of sales and business development for Miller Insurance Services. He was previously global head of non-marine reinsurance.

Prior to this, Angelini-Hurll served as regional director of Willis Re’s Indian sub-continent, Middle East, North Africa and Turkey operations. He has worked at Willis for over 20 years.

Hearn said: “Reinsurance represents a key pillar in our growth strategy. We will redefine our proposition in this sector through a combination of technological and practice evolution and by recruiting the market’s leading talent to complement our existing expertise.

“Kieran’s appointment represents a key stage in this process. He is a highly respected industry figure, who has built his reputation on innovation and emerging market expertise and I am certain that under his guidance our reinsurance offering will quickly be seen as a genuine challenger in the market.”

Angelini-Hurll added: “There is an obvious gap in the market for a reinsurance proposition which makes use of all of the tools now available in our industry to provide clients with a modern, tailored service. I am delighted to be joining Cooper Gay to help make their aspirations for the reinsurance division a reality.”
