McGill and Partners has announced the appointment of Steve Postlewhite as its newest partner for the reinsurance team.

Headquartered in London, Postlewhite is set to lead the development of portfolio solutions while leveraging his vast industry insight and network to expand McGill and Partners’ reinsurance business on a larger scale.

With an industry tenure of over 20 years, Postlewhite brings a wealth of expertise in various domains such as analytics, capital, risk, and underwriting. His qualifications as an actuary complement his extensive leadership background in global insurance and reinsurance enterprises.

Formerly serving as the managing director and chief underwriting officer at QBE RE, Postlewhite was tasked with overseeing all aspects of the global inwards reinsurance portfolio, focusing on strategy development and its execution. Prior to this, he held the position of CEO at Aspen Insurance.

“We’re delighted to be bringing someone of Steve’s calibre into our Reinsurance team. His breadth of experience, spanning roles as both a buyer and a seller of reinsurance, will be invaluable to both our clients and colleagues alike, not only as we grow portfolio solutions but to the wider firm thanks to our single P&L structure,” said Angus Milgate, McGill and Partners head of international treaty reinsurance.

In other recent developments, the specialty broker also announced that it has joined forces with Renew Risk to construct catastrophe models tailored for offshore wind portfolios.
