A series of senior appointments has been announced across the insurance and MGA sectors, with Alliant Insurance adding a new assistant vice president to its employee benefits team and Bermuda-based Banyan Risk bringing in a seasoned market executive to support its next phase of growth.
Alliant Insurance Services has hired Amy Miller (pictured, left) as assistant vice president within its Employee Benefits Group, expanding its consulting capabilities for clients using professional employer organizations (PEOs).
Based in Austin, Texas, Miller will work with employers across a range of industries to deliver strategic, data‑driven PEO advisory solutions designed to align workforce needs with long‑term business objectives. Prior to joining Alliant, Miller was a Benefits Consultant with a global insurance brokerage and employee benefits consulting firm.
Miller brings experience across human capital management, employee benefits, and complex solution design. She has deep knowledge of PEO structures and broker channel development, enabling her to help clients assess organizational needs and implement data‑driven recommendations that support both operational efficiency and employee experience.
She has also advised employers on benefits strategy, funding approaches, and administrative optimization, spanning fully insured and self‑funded plans, ancillary offerings, and customized benefits solutions.
Banyan Risk Ltd, a Bermuda‑based specialty managing general agency (MGA), has appointed market veteran Dan Malloy (pictured, right) as executive managing director as it enters its next phase of growth and continues to scale its underwriting platform.
Malloy will work closely with co‑founders and co‑CEOs Tim Usher‑Jones and Peter Horrobin and the wider leadership team to support the continued expansion of the business across people, products, and geography. He has been closely involved with Banyan Risk since its formation and played a key role in the MGA’s early development.
Malloy is a veteran insurance and reinsurance executive with around 40 years of industry experience. Most recently, he served as CEO of United Risk, an MGA platform. Prior to that, he was CEO of SiriusPoint, and before that CEO of Third Point Re. During his time at SiriusPoint, he was instrumental in establishing the partnership between SiriusPoint and Banyan.
The appointment follows the recent addition of John Berger, Bob Cox, and Andrew Cook to Banyan Risk’s senior advisory board to support the company’s next phase of growth.
Since its launch in 2021, Banyan Risk has expanded its underwriting capabilities, product range, and geographic footprint, backed by strategic capacity partnerships and targeted senior hires.
