Mullen Named CEO of Artex; McManus Becomes Chairman

Artex Risk Solutions, the Bermuda-based alternative risk management solutions provider, announced that Peter Mullen has re-joined the company as chief executive officer, with David McManus assuming the new role of chairman.

The move was first announced in March 2018.

Artex was founded in 1997 by Mullen, McManus and Artex North America President Jennifer Gallagher.

“Succession planning is a core competency of our company. As our executive committee considered the future leadership of Artex, we immediately thought of Peter and the value we could create by reuniting the team that originally founded Artex,” stated McManus in last year’s announcement.

Mullen spent more than 20 years with Artex and its parent company, Gallagher, before becoming CEO of Aon Captive & Insurance Management eight years ago. Before he could return to Artex, he had to fulfill his contractual obligations to Aon.

“I am thrilled to welcome Peter back to Artex and excited for what the future holds under his leadership,” stated McManus in a statement issued by the company on March 21. “Innovation is at the core of his talents and is the foundation of our company. I’m confident that this innovation, together with Peter’s fresh perspective and energy, will drive Artex to even greater success in the years to come.”
