Consilium, an independent global specialist re/insurance broker, has confirmed the launch of its energy risk solutions division and the appointment of Johnny Hilliard as managing partner.
He will join the company upon completion of his current notice period and will be responsible for developing the company’s business in the international energy insurance market.
Hilliard leaves Amwins Global Risks, bringing with him more than 16 years of experience in the specialty insurance and reinsurance sectors. His background includes significant work in third-party liability risks, particularly in North America. At Consilium, he will focus on energy liability insurance and support clients through structured risk transfer and placement strategies across the industry.
Throughout his career, Hilliard has managed complex placements and advised on risks impacted by geopolitical, environmental and commercial factors affecting global energy businesses. Prior to joining Amwins as Energy Sector Director, he held senior roles at Cogent International and Roberts Armytage & Partners, where he led and developed a team of experts.
The Energy Risk Solutions unit is Consilium’s second new business line this year, following the recent launch of its international casualty unit. The capital increase is part of a wider plan to expand the company’s capabilities in the energy sector.
Peter Coleman, CEO of Consilium, commented: “We are delighted to launch our energy division and welcome Johnny on board. Energy represents a significant global opportunity and is a key pillar of our ambitious growth strategy. Consilium’s unique synergy model and high-performance culture continues to attract top industry talent who value independence, collaboration and an entrepreneurial mindset.”
“We are fiercely independent, always customer-focused and committed to delivering exceptional service. Supported by ongoing technology investments, our teams can spend more time delivering thoughtful solutions and less dealing with inefficiencies. New Energy has exciting plans for the next few years and will work across categories to maximize the collaborative benefits of being part of a $1 billion global reinsurance broker.”
