Consilium, an independent global specialty re/insurance broker, has confirmed the creation of its Energy Risk Solutions Division and the appointment of Johnny Hilliard as Managing Partner.
He will join the firm after completing his current notice period and will be responsible for developing its presence in the international energy insurance market.
Hilliard moves from Amwins Global Risks, bringing more than 16 years of experience in specialty insurance and reinsurance. His background includes significant work in third-party liability risks, particularly within North America. At Consilium, he will concentrate on energy liability lines and support clients with structured risk transfer and placement strategies across the sector.
During his career, Hilliard has managed complex placements and advised on risks influenced by geopolitical, environmental and commercial factors affecting energy businesses globally. He previously held senior roles at Cogent International and Roberts Armytage & Partners before joining Amwins as Divisional Director for Energy, where he led and developed a specialist team.
The Energy Risk Solutions Division represents Consilium’s second new business line this year, following the recent launch of its International Casualty Division. The addition forms part of a wider plan to expand the firm’s capabilities within the energy space.
Peter Coleman, CEO of Consilium, commented: “We’re delighted to launch our Energy Division and to welcome Johnny on board. Energy represents a significant global opportunity and forms a key pillar of our ambitious growth strategy. Our unique synergy model and high-performance culture at Consilium continues to attract the industry’s top talent who value independence, collaboration and entrepreneurial thinking.
“We are fiercely independent, relentlessly client focused and committed to delivering service excellence. Supported by sustained technology investment, our teams can spend more time delivering thoughtful solutions and less time navigating inefficiency. The new Energy division has exciting plans for the coming years and will be working cross-class to maximise the collaborative advantages of being part of a USD 1bn global reinsurance broker.”
