Brokerslink has appointed Maurizio Castelli as the new leader of its risk management practice.
The broker launched its Risk Management Practice in July 2022, with the aim of bringing together the risk management skills, knowledge and expertise from across its global network.
Castelli replaces Jorge Luzzi in the role, CEO of Risk Consulting Group, and a former president of FERMA, who passed away suddenly earlier this year.
Brokerslink’s Risk Management Practice includes Augustas Risk Services, B.Riley Advisory Services and RCG.
Together they provide a range of services around risk assessment, risk inspection, enterprise risk management (ERM), risk analysis, loss control, captive management and business continuity.
Castelli is the CEO of Milan-based risk management consultant Augustas Risk Services SpA, and the former director of group risk management at Pirelli, and CEO of the Group’s captive.
He is also a former general secretary and president of FERMA, and a past president and chairman of the Worldwide Federation of Risk Management Associations (IFRIMA).
“We are still mourning the sudden and premature death of our dear friend and colleague, Jorge Luzzi,” Castelli said.
“Among his many roles and achievements, he was instrumental in the foundation, development, and leadership of Brokerslink’s Risk Management Practice.
“It is humbling to take on this role from Jorge and continue to deliver this important service to Brokerslink Partners and Affiliates.”
