U.S.-based reinsurance broker John B. Collins Associates has named Patrick Hirigoyen vice president-marketing and communications, "to lead our efforts to communicate with key audiences and support our reputation in the reinsurance marketplace," Collins President and Chief Executive Officer Patrick Denzer announced today.
Collins is one of the world's leading reinsurance brokers, serving clients in the property-casualty, life, and accident & health insurance markets. Headquartered in Minneapolis, it has offices across the United States as well as in London and in Bermuda.
Since its founding in 1987, Collins has also grown rapidly in the global reinsurance marketplace. It placed more than $1.5 billion in ceded premiums in 2004.
Denzer said Hirigoyen's responsibilities include corporate communications, advertising and media relations strategies and programs.
"We're pleased to have someone with Pat's experience and reputation, particularly in the reinsurance industry, on the Collins team," Denzer said. "He will play an important role in helping Collins tell its story to our clients, prospects and markets, and in representing the company to the news media and other audiences."
Hirigoyen, 52, previously worked 17 years for The St. Paul Companies (now St. Paul Travelers), where he held several positions in corporate communications and public relations. During the 1990s he led marketing communications and public relations strategies and programs for St. Paul Re, The St. Paul's reinsurance operation, based in New York City.
A resident of Saint Paul, Minn., he holds a master's degree from the University of Minnesota, a bachelor's from St. John's University (Minn.), and is accredited by the Public Relations Society of America.
