GCube has expanded its global claims team by appointing Darren Askari, Adan Mendoza, Sierra Lenz, and James Papazis to new roles.
The firm said that Askari will join its Newport Beach office as North Americna claims manager. He will be joined in Newport Beach by former PERse colleague Adan Mendoza, who joins GCube as senior claims manager.
The pair will be supported in their roles by claims associate Sierra Lenz, a graduate of GCube’s parent company Tokio Marine HCC’s Accelerate Programme, and one of three recent graduates to be recruited into GCube’s ranks across the business. In addition to the above, James Papazis takes up a more senior role as operations director and legal counsel.
Fraser McLachlan, CEO of the firm, said: “Knowledge, skills, and leadership are more essential than ever to support clients with the difficulties they now face, and to ensure the ongoing sustainability of the renewables sector – we’re answering this call by shaping, training, and investing in our people in order to establish industry-leading teams capable of first-class client service.”
GCube said in a statement that these moves continue its mission to cultivate the best talent across the renewable insurance sector. It said the moves enable it to enhance its support for the renewables sector at a tumultuous time, with loss trends on an unpredictable but upwards trajectory.
Roy Muñoz, global head of claims at GCube, said: “We’re immensely pleased to be able to expand and bolster our claims offering for our clients, and warmly welcome Darren, Adan and Sierra to the team. Claims is central to everything we do at GCube, and we pride ourselves on cultivating one of the strongest claims team in the renewable energy space. We’re looking forward to leveraging the expanded experience of our team and generating even more value for our clients.”
