Specialty reinsurer BMS Re announced the appointment of Anthony Mirabal as CEO of the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) Division, effective November 2024.
Mirabal has more than 30 years of experience in reinsurance, first as a casualty underwriter with Gen Re, and then in underwriting, production and management roles with a number of prominent reinsurance businesses in the region such as ERC and EWB before successfully developing his own reinsurance intermediary (RRISC) based in Miami in 2001 – a business subsequently acquired by JLTRe in 2016, which lead to his recent 6-year tenure at Guy Carpenter since the acquisition of the JLT Group in 2018 by MMC.
Mirabal will report to Nick Gillett, CEO of BMS International, and will continue to be based in Miami. He will work closely with Juan Carlos Gomez, who will become president of Latin America and Caribbean; and will continue to play a pivotal role in helping shape the regional strategy and supporting local offices.
