Global boutique specialist re/insurance broker McGill and Partners has announced an expansion of its ports and terminals services with the appointment of Julien Horn as a partner.
Horn transitions to McGill and Partners after a significant tenure at TT Club, the mutual catering to international transport and logistics. His tenure there began in 2006, with Horn most recently holding the position of senior underwriter within the marine division, focusing on regions including the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Mediterranean, and Turkey.
His career at TT Club also included a six-year stint as business development director based in Dubai, where he oversaw activities in the Middle East, India, and Africa.
Horn’s experience and the relationships he has built over the past decade in the Middle East and the broader MENA region equip him with the insights and capabilities to address the needs of large clients, according to McGill and Partners.
His role also comes at a time as operators in ports and terminals increasingly shift their business models towards logistics. The company said that Horn’s understanding of the transportation business landscape would be instrumental in supporting both existing and new clients.
Horn is set to work under the leadership of Julien Hubbard, head of ports and terminals.
“It is fantastic to welcome someone of Julien’s caliber to the team,” Hubbard said. “His business development skills, whether it be nurturing current relationships or exploring new opportunities, will be a tremendous asset to the firm. However, Julien will also bring a new dynamic to the team and his skillset will undoubtedly enhance our ports and terminals offering.”
