MISSION Appoints Bruno Ritchie as Strategic Advisor to Drive EMEA and French MGA Expansion

MISSION, the MGA Capital Partner, has appointed Bruno Ritchie as Strategic Advisor as it builds out its presence overseas.

Tom Hill, Chief Commercial Officer, MISSION, said: “The European MGA market is seeing significant expansion and MISSION provides talented underwriters with ambitions of building their own business a clear and proven route to market. Building on our success in the US and UK we offer capital, multi-year capacity, technology, compliance and operational infrastructure so specialist underwriting teams can launch and scale MGAs quickly, retain entrepreneurial ownership, and focus on underwriting and broker relationships.”

“Our initial focus is on France, where Bruno’s deep experience and knowledge of the local market will be invaluable in identifying the right underwriters for MISSION to back.”

Ritchie has more than two decades’ experience in the specialty and commercial insurance markets in France and the UK. He has held senior underwriting roles at Allianz, Hiscox and Argo. He has also worked in the MGA market with Innovisk Capital Partners and PelotonUW, as well as KARAD, his own specialty insurance consultancy.
