BMS Australia has appointed Georgina Reilly (pictured) as general counsel, a move aligned with the firm’s continued investment in internal infrastructure as it expands nationally.
Reilly will be based in Sydney and report to CEO Andrew Godden.
Reilly’s legal background spans private practice and corporate roles, with experience covering corporate law, dispute resolution, and insurance sector mergers and acquisitions. Most recently, she served as legal counsel at Ardonagh Global Partners, where she focused on cross-border transactional work involving insurance firms.
Godden said the addition of Reilly supports BMS’s long-term objectives.
“We are really pleased to have someone with Georgina’s experience join us. Her deep legal expertise leading a range of complex legal, compliance and regulatory matters and her significant industry insight will be invaluable in supporting our continued expansion in the Australian market. I would like to warmly welcome Georgina to the BMS team, and we look forward to working with her,” he said.
Reilly said she was drawn to BMS by its strategic direction and organisational culture.
“I’m excited to be joining BMS at a time when the business is on such a strong growth trajectory in the Australian market. The company’s reputation for client service and its collaborative culture were big drawcards for me,” she said. “I’m most looking forward to working closely with the business to support strategic initiatives and help navigate legal and regulatory challenges. I’m keen to contribute to building a strong and responsive legal function and play a role in shaping how legal adds value to the business as it scales.”
BMS has also enhanced its Western Australian operations by naming Lisa Triscari as client director, part of its focus on regional client servicing.
Based in Perth, Triscari leads the commercial team and reports to Brett Waterman, managing director for the western region.
With over 20 years of experience in insurance broking, Triscari previously held senior roles at Centrewest Insurance Brokers and EBM Insurance and Risk Management. Her remit includes improving operational delivery and client engagement across key industry segments.
These leadership changes come at a time when businesses are navigating interconnected global and domestic risks.
Aon’s latest Client Trends 2025 report highlighted trade dynamics, digital innovation, climate risk, and workforce shifts as major forces reshaping business exposure.
The report, informed by Aon’s Risk Capital and Human Capital units, noted that these megatrends are increasingly converging, challenging traditional decision-making models.
Aon CEO Greg Case said businesses need integrated data and multidisciplinary insights to manage uncertainty.
“The interconnectedness of these trends means that leaders need access to integrated data and analytics, capabilities, and expertise to effectively respond to increasingly linked risk and people issues,” he said.
