Madell has over 33 years’ insurance experience in both the London and Australian markets, specializing in financial lines and other specialty products. In his new role, he will focus on building out a new financial lines capability for BMS, working closely with both the London headquarters and the Australian office.
Before joining BMS, Madell was CEO at Allstate Underwriting Agencies Pty Ltd. since 2017.

“Chris will be working closely with our overseas offices in Australia and Miami to complement their FI focus,” said Gormley. “Financial Lines and D&O are in a true hard market right now and having a proven specialist such as Chris with deep technical understanding will help our clients navigate in the current market.”
