Cooper Gay Swett & Crawford (CGSC) has appointed Alejandro Padilla as general manager and head of broking for Mexico, Central America, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
Padilla joins CGSC from Swiss Re, where he most recently served as head of reinsurance for North Latin America at Swiss Brokers Mexico.
In his new role, Padilla will lead the operation and focus on expansion and acquisition of new businesses, recruiting producers and bringing service excellence to CGSC’s reinsurance brokerage and wholesale clients.
He will report to Ulisses Soares, chief executive officer (CEO) of Latin America, and Francisco Martinez, chairman of CGSC’s Mexican operations.
Soares said: “I am confident that Alejandro’s broad experience in the reinsurance industry, together with his exceptional leadership and focus on the client, will be a great contribution to the development of our businesses in Mexico, Central America, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. His return to our business is welcome and will considerably strengthen our team in this region.”
Padilla added: “I am very much looking forward to returning to the most successful independent reinsurance broker, leading a strong team at CGSC Mexico and supporting the development of CGSC in the Latin American region. We have significant opportunities to explore and plan to grow our business profitably, while continuing to provide excellent service to our clients."
