General Insurance Article - Kevin Miller takes new COO role at AEGIS

 A well-known figure in the London market, Miller has built a career in insurance and financial services over 26 years. Following initial roles with EY, NatWest and ING Group he joined Beazley Specialty Lines as Global Chief Operating Officer in 2005. He became a professional advisor to the London Market on strategic and operational change, with roles including Underwriting and Claims Improvement Programme Manager at Liberty Syndicates, and joined Aspen in 2011.

 Miller’s role at AEGIS London will focus on delivering their recently announced London-focused strategy with emphasis on the changing face of distribution and working with London brokers to ensure the cost-effective distribution of AEGIS London’s products.

 A key factor in this will be the development and use of online trading platforms. Furthermore, he will lead on innovation across all the company’s operations with the aim of ensuring that AEGIS London remains agile and able to adapt quickly to the ever-changing marketplace.

 David Croom-Johnson said: “Kevin is a leading figure in the London insurance market with a strong track record in business process reform and technological innovation. He will be a tremendous asset to our business and will have a tangible impact on our future development, particularly our focus on building in-depth relationships with London-based brokers who are at the heart of our strategy.”

 Last year, Managing Director David Croom-Johnson laid out AEGIS London’s ‘London first’ strategy, which centres on building strong, mutually-beneficial relationships with brokers operating in London rather than looking for growth through international expansion programmes.
