Howden has reinforced its team with the appointment of Enrico Bertagna (pictured above) as the new managing director for its MGA division within the European reinsurance segment.
Bertagna's arrival is set to complement Howden's MGA/program broking operation, which presently manages $6 billion of gross written premium (GWP).
With a track record spanning over three decades in the insurance industry, Bertagna’s career includes over two decades at Lloyd’s in Europe, pivotal roles in business development at Allied World, and spearheading the MGA network as well as MGA Solutions at Zurich.
“We see huge opportunity in Europe for growth in the MGA and fronting space and expect to see premiums in European MGAs rise rapidly from the current position of approximately $10bn of premium,” said Elliott Richardson, vice chair at Howden Tiger. “It is therefore critical that Howden has the talent and local expertise in place to provide European MGAs, cover holders and continental capacity providers with further opportunities to grow profitably. I am confident that we will be the go-to advisor in the European MGA market and Enrico is the perfect person to lead our MGA/program offering in the region.”
