BMS Group, the specialist insurance and reinsurance brokerage, has continued its expansion in the U.S. treaty reinsurance marketplace with the addition of Kevin Gordon as Senior Vice President (SVP), Treaty Reinsurance, effective immediately.
In his new role, Gordon joins the broker’s Chicago office and will report to Bred Nebel, Branch Manager in the Chicago office.
With a focus on developing and serving the regional client base, Gordon will contribute to the evolution of the company’s treaty reinsurance strategy.
Prior to BMS, Gordon most recently served as SVP at Willis Re, the reinsurance broking arm of Willis Towers Watson. During his career, he has led numerous key reinsurance accounts across multiple business lines, including property catastrophe, fidelity, and professional liability.
Before Willis Re, Gordon worked at Aon Benfield for more than 17 years, specialising in treaty reinsurance.
Pete Chandler, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of BMS’ US reinsurance division, said: “Our US operation is growing in scale across several select specialty lines and we are determined to play a major part in developing client-focused, targeted solutions in our chosen growth segments. As we expect significant opportunities in the evolving US treaty reinsurance market, we have been making a number of senior hires in different offices to support our growth strategy in the last year.
“Kevin’s expertise in treaty reinsurance placements will be a great addition to our team. I look forward to working closely with him and all regional offices in expanding BMS’s reinsurance platform.”
