Peter de Kersaint Giraudeau appointed senior client executive

Lloyd’s broker THB has expanded its operation in Amsterdam by appointing ex-HSBC Insurance Brokers executive Peter de Kersaint Giraudeau.

Giraudeau has worked in Venezuela, Spain and Brazil before returning to the UK where he was most recently a senior executive at HSBC Insurance Brokers.

He is multi-lingual (fluent in Portuguese, Spanish and French) with 32 years of reinsurance experience including directorships in the UK, Spain and Brazil.

THB’s Amsterdam office serves as the company’s European hub with clients spanning much of continental Europe. As a reinsurance broking operation in its territories, it deals with all classes of business and has particular expertise in property and liability including large engineering projects.

Joaquim Caria, managing director of THB European Division, said: “We are delighted that Peter has chosen to join us in Amsterdam as a senior client executive and we know that our clients in the Netherlands and Portugal will benefit from his vast experience.”

Giraudeau said: “I welcome this exciting opportunity to contribute to THB’s continued growth in core European markets.”
