MNK International, a leading independent Lloyd’s broker, has announced the launch of MNK International North America, a new broking business that will provide North American producers and clients with access to specialist insurance solutions through the London and Bermuda markets.
MNK International North America will be led by new CEO Julian Ball, who brings over 35 years of experience in the North American insurance market. Previously, he has held senior roles in London and New York, including establishing and building North American specialty businesses at United Insurance brokers, leading a wholesale business serving the US market at Marsh, and overseeing US growth and client development at Bowring Marsh.
Based in London, Ball will lead the development of specialist teams in London, broadening the firm’s product offering and strengthening relationships with clients across the region. The business will target opportunities in established sectors including transportation & auto, commercial property, delegated authority business, professional & financial, marine hull & cargo, healthcare & life science, natural resources, construction & engineering, crisis management, renewable energy and cyber.
Ball will also oversee the development of a digital platform for North American clients and explore opportunities to create proprietary solutions in collaboration with other businesses across MNK Group.
Naman Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of MNK International, said:
“As we continue to strengthen our international reach, North America is a significant growth market for MNK International and Julian is ideally placed to lead the development of our broking platform in the region. He brings deep market knowledge, a strong record of building successful teams and a clear understanding of what clients and distribution partners need.”
Julian Ball, Chief Executive Officer of MNK International North America, said:
“What attracted me to MNK International was the clear ambition across the business, together with a willingness to invest in people, technology and new capabilities.”
“North America presents an important opportunity for MNK International. Changes in the broking market are creating demand for an independent and collaborative alternative that can give producers access to specialist expertise and capacity in London and Bermuda. I am excited to build out our broking platform, develop specialist teams and expand our offering across both established and emerging areas of the market.”
