Oxbow Partners Expands into the US
14 January, 2026
Having recently celebrated our tenth year, we are excited to announce a major milestone in our journey: the opening of our New York office.
While our work has long spanned the UK, Europe, Bermuda and the United States, this expanded North American position represents a significant step in our ability to support carriers, reinsurers, MGAs, and investors on the ground.
All clients will benefit from our Agile Strategy™ methodology, which combines deep market insight with a pragmatic and integrated approach to strategy development and operating model and technology transformation.
Our ‘one global firm’ model means we are perfectly positioned to help US clients with their European expansion, and European clients with their US strategies.
With this we welcome two senior hires to our US team:
-
Manmeet Singh Bawa, Partner: Joining us to lead the US business, Manmeet brings over a decade of global consulting experience. His focus is on helping P&C insurers modernise their operating models and unlock organic and inorganic growth.
-
Mark Purowitz, Senior Advisor: Mark contributes several decades of US and global financial services expertise, specifically across strategic growth and M&A.
“With our new team, we are launching a distinctive US platform that helps clients unlock growth, modernise operating models, and deliver results.”
Chris Sandilands, Partner
Our New York team will focus on the core areas where we have built our reputation:
-
Strategic Transformation: Helping senior leaders in the insurance industry in London, Europe and Bermuda, with some of the industry’s most significant challenges and opportunities, combining deep technical insight with a pragmatic approach to strategy development
-
Operating Models & Technology: Helping executives create real change in their organisations, quickly
-
Investor Support: Supporting investors and corporate development executives with commercial due diligence and post-acquisition strategy development and integration
“The US insurance market is at an inflection point. Carriers, reinsurers, and MGAs will benefit from a specialist partner who can combine global insight with local expertise to deliver meaningful strategic transformation.”
Manmeet Singh Bawa, Partner
