BOXX Insurance has appointed Phil Baker to not only be the president of BOXX Canada, but to also become the company’s global head of insurance.
The announcement from the Toronto-based company says that Baker was until recently board chairman and head of broker relations at Beazley Canada.
Vishal Kundi, CEO and co-founder of BOXX, said: “Phil will play an integral role in expanding relationships with the insurance brokers that fuel our business in Canada.”
He added: “Under Phil’s technical leadership, we can step up the pace to enhance and extend our insurance products to meet the demands of partners and customers we are seeing across the world.”
In addition, BBOXX announced the addition of Zurich Insurance and Hartford Steam Boiler as new insurance providers for BOXX. Baker will manage these relationships as well as cultivate new ones as BOXX expands into selected new markets and segments.
The link-up between BOXX and Zurich follows a September announcement that the two companies would work together on cybersecurity and insurance solutions for the customers of the latter.
