Specialist (re)insurance broker Miller has today revealed the appointment of Oscar Holloway as head of Miller Europe.
Holloway – who will be based in London and report to managing director of Miller International, Mike Papworth – joins from Marsh, where he was senior vice president in its capital markets division. In a press release, Miller noted that he started his career as an infantry officer in the British Army, going on to develop expertise in M&A advisory at Rothschild, and later at Jardine Lloyd Thomson (now Marsh) as director of corporate development.
Miller highlighted that Holloway’s specialist M&A expertise will be key to supporting its continued growth in Europe and Asia and mirrors its commitment to continuing its international expansion. Earlier this year, the brokerage announced the strategic restructuring of its business into two divisions – Miller UK and Miller International.
Commenting on the appointment, Papworth said: “I’m pleased to welcome Oscar to Miller, and I look forward to working with him closely to further build our presence on the Continent. Europe and Asia are key markets for Miller, and Oscar’s M&A expertise will help bolster our next chapter of growth.”
Holloway also commented on his move noting that Miller has clear ambitions for Europe and that he is “thrilled” to come on board and work closely with Papworth and his team to deliver their international growth strategy.
“The European market represents a significant opportunity for the business, our clients and our colleagues,” he said, “while Miller’s unique culture and entrepreneurial mindset offers a great foundation from which to build on this.”
