Independent re/insurance broker Miller's M&A and Strategic Solutions (MASS) team has appointed Priyan Shah (pictured above) to head its tax insurance offering, deepening the broker's bench in a segment that has drawn rising demand from corporates and private capital.
Shah joins with more than 25 years of international experience as a tax specialist, having begun his career at PwC before moving to the tax structuring team at Barclays Capital, where he spent close to a decade.
He subsequently held leadership roles in investment management spanning Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and continues to serve in an advisory capacity for that segment.
Across his career, Shah has worked with family offices, institutional investors and private capital platforms. His tax expertise covers cross-border M&A, private equity and venture capital investments, real estate and infrastructure transactions, as well as financial structuring and tax planning.
He has also handled tax controversy and dispute matters alongside transactional work, the firm noted.
Shah's appointment also adds to a sustained build-out at Miller, which has nearly doubled revenues in the five years since breaking away from WTW in 2021, when revenues stood at £162 million.
The independent broker has placed roughly $5 billion in gross written premium over the period, with headcount climbing from around 900 at end-2023 to more than 1,300.
Shah took up his current post at Miller Insurance Services in February 2026, leading the tax workstream within the MASS team.
He continues to hold several outside roles, including as co-founder and non-executive director at Capio Consult, a specialist accounting, tax, finance and business advisory firm he joined in November 2024.
Shah has sat on the advisory board of Indus Equity Partners, an India-focused venture capital technology fund manager, since September 2023. He previously served as a non-executive director at Tahina and worked on private credit origination and execution at Hamilton Bradshaw Group, both concluding in February 2026.
He also held a long-running advisory board role at UK-based real estate investment firm Roscap from September 2021 through February 2026.
Earlier in his career, Shah co-founded a family office and investment management firm in September 2015, where he spent close to nine years working across private credit, private equity, real estate, capital raising and business advisory.
Shah's arrival also coincides with other senior hires at Miller, including ex-Lockton partner Graham Wynes, who joined as head of claims on April 28, 2026, reporting to Tim Norman, CEO of Miller UK.
The move arrives as Swiss Re forecasts global P&C premium growth slowing to 4% in 2026 from 5.5% in 2025, with social inflation and rising defense costs elevating claims advocacy as a competitive differentiator alongside specialist tax capabilities of the kind Shah is being brought in to expand.
