Mr Becerra has been hired to lead MGR’s expansion into the dynamic, fast-moving international aviation sector from London, MGR’s strategic base for international growth of its global risks business. His role will link closely with MGR’s aviation team in Madrid, who have been underwriting aviation risks for many years.

Prior to working for 8 years as a broker in London, Mr Becerra, who will report to Mr Greg Harris, MGR UK Director, worked for AON Mexico for 9 years, where he was a reinsurance broker and aviation department manager.
