Specialist broker McGill and Partners has announced several leadership appointments within its US operations.

Karl Hennessy, currently leading the global specialty insurance teams in London, will assume the role of CEO of McGill Global Risk Solutions LLC, the US insurance and reinsurance business. Hennessy will relocate from London to New York, pending visa approvals.

John Judice has been appointed president of the US business, effective immediately. In his new position, Judice will drive sales and business development activities across McGill and Partners’ specialty insurance platform. Warren Mula will continue serving as the chairman of the US business.

Nirali Shah has been appointed as the head of US D&O. To support business development initiatives in the US, Daisy Jackson has been appointed as a partner, business development, and will also relocate from London to New York, pending visa approvals.

Additionally, Alyssa Gerardi has been named chief of staff for Steve McGill, CEO of McGill and Partners. Gerardi will transition from New York to London.

As Hennessy transitions to the US, his previous responsibilities will be assumed by John Lloyd, the chairman of McGill and Partners.

“Since we launched four years ago, we have developed a value proposition and business model that is highly differentiated, enabling us to deliver industry leading organic revenue growth,” said Steve McGill. “The US is the most important (re)insurance market in the world and these leadership changes are designed to reinforce our commitment to the US market, for the benefit of all our trading partners and clients.”

Earlier this month, McGill and Partners announced the appointment of Anna Beadsmoore as a partner in its property-casualty team. In June, the company announced the appointment of Peter Stubbings as a partner in its Bermuda location.
