Maurizio Ghilosso appointed Executive Chair, H & M Intermediaries Europe

As part of its previously announced plan to create a $5bn GWP international MGA by 2027, H & M Intermediaries Group has announced that Maurizio Ghilosso will become Executive Chair, H & M Intermediaries Europe.

H & M Intermediaries Europe encompasses all of the European businesses of H & M Intermediaries and Mr. Ghilosso will take on the chairmanship role in addition to his existing role as Managing Director, H & M Intermediaries Italia.

Kieran Sweeney, Executive Chairman, H & M Intermediaries Group, commented: “There are tremendous opportunities for H & M Intermediaries to significantly grow its European businesses. Our existing teams already write just under $300m GWP in the region, but we have ambitions to grow the business to greater than $750m GWP by 2027. We believe H & M Intermediaries is ideally positioned to attract the very best underwriters in the European marketplace and to make strategic acquisitions of quality MGAs to accelerate our growth and expansion into new territories. Under Maurizio’s leadership, we will successfully execute a growth strategy that will materially broaden our product offering to our distribution partners and clients in Europe. Maurizio will lever a global underwriting platform that invests heavily in people and technology to deliver a value proposition to our capacity partners and European clients that is truly market leading. Europe will be a key contributor as we work to achieve our broader goal for H & M Intermediaries Group; to create a significant international underwriting business.”

Maurizio Ghilosso said: “I am absolutely delighted to accept this wonderful opportunity. Having already established a strong and sustained presence in a number of key local markets, we know the size of the opportunity Europe represents for H & M Intermediaries. We are looking forward to adding new underwriting talent to our team to help us expand into new products, enter new markets and build H & M Intermediaries Europe into a bigger and even more successful underwriting business than it is today.”

Richard Clapham, CEO H & M Intermediaries Group added: “I am thrilled to announce that Maurizio will become Executive Chair of H & M Intermediaries Europe. Since he joined the group in 2005, Maurizio has demonstrated his leadership skills by building H & M Intermediaries Italia into the largest and most successful MGA in Italy. I know that he will make H & M Intermediaries Europe the specialty market of choice for quality brokers, and the employer of choice for the best talent in Europe.”
