Independent specialist re/insurance broker, Miller has announced a significant expansion of its US Casualty team with the appointment of two seasoned professionals, Galen Brislane and Danielle Thorsteinson, as Account Executives.
Brislane joined Miller in July and brings over three decades of invaluable experience in the London and Bermudian markets, with a focus on serving large and complex casualty clients.
He has an extensive background in insurance, reinsurance, and captive management, having previously held executive roles at Prices Forbes (Bermuda), Aon, and JLT, where he served as Executive Vice President for US Casualty.
Thorsteinson, who will join Miller in early August, boasts more than 17 years of experience in both wholesale and retail casualty markets.
Prior to joining Miller, Danielle served as a Director in Price Forbes’ London Construction team and has held various roles at Aon, RT Specialty, and Worldwide Facilities Inc.
Both Brislane and Thorsteinson will be reporting to Mark West, Head of US Casualty. Brislane will be based in Bermuda, while Thorsteinson will operate from Miller’s London office.
Mark West expressed his enthusiasm for the new appointments, stating, “These are two excellent senior hires for our US Casualty team. Both Galen and Danielle have strong reputations and I fully expect our clients to benefit from their broad experience in a range of business lines across the Bermudian and London markets. Like the rest of Miller, we have ambitious plans to grow our US Casualty book and I expect Galen and Danielle to be important parts of this.”
In response to his appointment, Brislane shared his excitement, praising Miller’s esteemed reputation in the London marketplace, saying, “Miller has a stellar reputation in the London marketplace and I am pleased to join a business with such a clear focus on what it wants to achieve. I’m particularly excited about the opportunity to play a meaningful role in the build out of Miller’s US proposition working alongside our partners in the region.”
“Miller’s focus on creating bespoke solutions alongside its service-oriented approach makes it unique, and I look forward to joining such a client-centric broker,” Thorsteinson said on his appointment.
