Independent specialist re/insurance broker Miller has announced the appointment of Paul Cumberland as Chief Broking Officer, a newly created global role.

The executive brings deep expertise in broking, underwriting, and portfolio management across a wide range of business lines and market segments, having most recently served as Executive Director at Howden.
During this time, Cumberland led on portfolio analytics and optimisation, delegated placement, market consultancy, and strategic trading.
He has also previously held senior roles at Aon, Markel, and Marsh, with a strong track record in both client and insurer-facing positions.
Miller’s CEO Hands commented: “As our international proposition continues to grow, Paul’s appointment further reflects the significant scale and ambition of our business. His wealth of experience will be invaluable as we sharpen our strategic trading and double down on our position as the broker of choice for those seeking independence, specialism and service. Paul will be at the forefront of helping us deliver a unified proposition to the market and I am delighted to have him on board.”
Cumberland added: “I am extremely excited and privileged to join Miller – a firm with a proud heritage and prestigious brand. In this new role, I look forward to uniting the company’s assets into a cohesive proposition for both clients and insurers and further accelerating our ambitious growth plans.”
