Crew Reinsurance Brokers, a Miami headquartered reinsurance broker, has been launched by José H. Astorqui, marking the culmination of its evolution from ATL RE.

An announcement on the launch states that this evolution “responds to the growth experienced by the company in recent years and reflects the maturity achieved by the project in the Latin American and Caribbean reinsurance market.”

Through its evolution, the firm has kept its team, business model, values, and contractual relationships with clients, reinsurers, and partners intact.

Astorqui, founder and CEO, defines Crew Reinsurance Brokers strategy through two main pillars.

The first builds on the foundation laid as ATL Re, the firm is consolidating its client portfolio and expanding into high-demand business lines.

This includes tapping into new international opportunities, such as the recent initiatives in San José, Costa Rica, under the leadership of Ramiro López Villalobos, and collaborating with Spanish intermediaries.

At its core, this growth is fuelled by stable, long-term relationships grounded in mutual trust, the firm noted.

The second pillar is the development of a regional platform for reinsurance brokers who value a professional environment free from corporate constraints.

This collaborative ecosystem provides shared infrastructure and resources, allowing professionals to maintain their independence and avoid conflicts of interest.

​The company is fully operational and holds the necessary licenses and registrations in the United States, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.

“The adoption of the new brand does not represent a break with the past, but rather the continuation of a project that reinforces its identity to align itself more precisely with its present reality and future vision,” Crew Reinsurance Brokers stated.

​Adding: “Through this initiative, Crew Reinsurance Brokers reaffirms its commitment to technical excellence, dedication to continuity, and ambition for sustainable growth within the reinsurance market.”
