Augment Risk appoints Heimann to develop European MGA practice

Augment Risk has appointed Magnus Heimann as partner for MGA, effective immediately, as the firm accelerates plans to build a unified European practice.

The broker said Heimann would lead its efforts to partner with coverholders, capacity providers and reinsurers to deliver capital-aligned programme solutions designed to support long-term enterprise value for MGA clients.

His remit includes developing a coherent European presence and advancing Augment’s strategy of providing full-stack structuring, disciplined capital partnerships and access to global markets for programme businesses.

Augment said Europe’s MGA sector has reached a new stage of scale and maturity, with indigenous MGAs and global programme platforms seeking capital-aligned growth, product expansion and multi-jurisdiction execution.

The firm has identified the segment as a core opportunity, where programme businesses can benefit from transparent capital engagement, stronger alignment across the value chain and repeatable structuring frameworks.

Heimann brings more than twenty five years of experience across underwriting, hybrid fronting, programme management and the wider MGA ecosystem.

He has held leadership roles in the UK, Europe and international markets, with a record of sustainable growth, strong underwriting performance and delivery of complex strategic initiatives.

Most recently, he was chief underwriting officer and executive director for Accredited Europe.

Augment said his appointment reinforces its commitment to building a capital-oriented MGA practice that connects programme businesses, carriers and investors through a single advisory lens focused on long-term value creation.

Heimann said he was looking forward to supporting MGAs in a market undergoing rapid evolution.

“The opportunity for value creation is significant, and aligning capital, capability and ambition will be central to building the next generation of programme businesses in Europe,” he added.
