Covéa Insurance further expands Small Business team

Covéa Insurance is pleased to confirm it has appointed Siddharth (Sid) Gulati to the role of small business underwriting manager as part of its commitment to develop a market-leading small business proposition.   Sid’s key responsibilities will be to lead the profitable growth of the small business product range and to ensure oversight and governance across all underwriting activity within the division.

Sid joins Covéa Insurance from AIG where he was business manager with profit and loss responsibility for a range of products including SME packages.  He also brings experience from RSA, where he held a number of portfolio management, pricing and actuarial roles.

Covéa Insurance’s Head of Small Business, Tim Grant commented:

“We’re delighted to welcome someone of Sid’s calibre to the Small Business team, especially during this exciting time of growth and development. Over the next few months we will be launching our new “best of breed” products to enhance our already strong proposition, Sid’s portfolio management and pricing knowledge and experience will be a valuable asset for us.”

The company’s continued investment in its small business team’s expertise and product range will further enhance the proposition for Covéa Insurance’s brokers, giving them access to a broader range of market-leading products via an extranet and Acturis platform. Covéa Insurance guarantees a market-leading thirty minute referral response, which brokers value extremely highly, according to independent research recently carried out.
