Specialist re/insurance broker, THB, has appointed Ko Bertelkamp as Operations Director of its European business, effective immediately.
Bertelkamp will be based in Amsterdam and report to Ricardo Borges, Managing Director, THB Europe.
This follows the recent THB Europe leadership transition, with Ricardo Borges becoming Managing Director as Paul Lindeboom retires and Joaquim Caria steps down.
Bertelkamp brings over 30 years’ experience and joins from Turien & Co and Ansvar Insurance Company. He began his career at Ansvar in 1988, serving in a series of senior roles before becoming Chief Executive Officer in 2003.
“THB Europe is embarking on a path of long-term growth, with an entrepreneurial team ready to drive expansion,” commented Ricardo Borges.
“Our business has gone from strength to strength in recent years. As part of the AmWINS Group, the largest wholesale broker in the United States placing some $14bn in premium, we continue to attract the very best talent in the market, and I am therefore very pleased Ko will be joining us to help fulfil our ambitions.”
Bertelkamp added, “THB is a growing business with great potential in Europe and beyond. I am looking forward to getting to know the team and working with Ricardo to help drive the division’s expansion.”
