Miller, a specialist re/insurance broker, has expanded its Delegated Authorities proposition with the creation of a dedicated European team.
Leading the new team is Laurie Gaitskell, appointed as Head of European Delegated Authorities.
He is joined by Anne-Sophie Petit and Ilenia Pizzolitto, with all three bringing extensive expertise in managing open market and coverholder business—particularly for SMEs and hard-to-place risks—across France, Switzerland, and Monaco.
Gaitskell brings a wealth of experience from his previous role as International Director at Alesco Delegated Authority (Arthur J Gallagher).
His knowledge of both the Canadian and European markets positions him to work alongside Chris Hardcastle, Head of Delegated Authorities, and Matt Dear, Head of International Delegated Authorities, in advancing Miller’s strategic ambitions.
Petit and Pizzolitto also join from Alesco Delegated Authority, and together, the trio brings more than four decades of combined industry experience to Miller’s growing team.
This expansion marks a significant step in Miller’s investment in specialist talent and underscores its focus on delivering tailored solutions to clients across diverse jurisdictions.
Hardcastle said: “I am delighted to welcome Laurie, Anne-Sophie and Ilenia to Miller. Their depth of experience in the French market further strengthens our European presence and is a great complement to our existing delegated authority business. As we continue to go from strength to strength, I’m excited to see our capabilities continue to evolve in this space.”
Gaitskell added: “Miller’s independent status, forward-looking approach, and focus on growth made the decision to join an obvious one. They have a strong reputation both internationally and in the London market which will allow us to offer French insurance brokers and agents tailor-made solutions, including for risks which are often hard to place.”
