Miller has announced the appointment of Shaun Sinniah as head of reinsurance and capital, with the hiring part of the firm’s strategy to expand its reinsurance services and global presence. Sinniah will be stationed in Miller’s London office.

Before joining Miller, Sinniah held significant positions in the insurance industry, including head of placement & distribution and chief operating officer of Guy Carpenter’s International & Global Specialties divisions.

He also served as managing director and global head of sales and client management at Willis Re. Sinniah’s entry into the insurance sector was preceded by a tenure at Goldman Sachs, where he worked in London and Hong Kong.

The appointment is a strategic step in line with Miller’s plans for growth and the acceleration of its reinsurance expansion. Sinniah is tasked with leading the enhancement of Miller’s reinsurance offerings, which includes implementing data-driven approaches and bolstering strategic advisory services.

“It’s an incredibly exciting time to join Miller, particularly as the organization evolves towards becoming the long-term, trusted and stable advisor that clients are seeking. My focus will be on crafting solutions that not only meet, but anticipate the evolving needs of our clients, backed by Miller’s enviable service excellence and our long-term vision for sustainable growth,” Sinniah said.

“We have a clear strategy to grow our reinsurance footprint in areas where it aligns with both client needs and our ambitious strategy,” CEO James Hands said. “I’m delighted to be welcoming Shaun to the team as part of this. His wealth of experience will be invaluable as we continue to build out the reinsurance part of our business. Since 2022, Miller has launched 12 new teams and welcomed over 200 new employees. Bringing in experts such as Shaun will allow us to accelerate this exciting trajectory and bolster our specialty offerings.”
