ArgoGlobal, a Lloyd’s insurer and subsidiary of Argo Group, has appointed Abdul-Latif Bousaleh as head of accident and health (A&H) underwriting for AroGlobal Underwriting (Dubai), effective immediately.

Bousaleh will report to Lina Hantas, chief underwriting officer at ArgoGlobal’s Dubai branch.

Bousaleh has almost a decade of underwriting experience, having most recently served as head of underwriting for Zurich Insurance’s A&H business in Dubai.

He had also served as an A&H underwriter at Chartis Insurance, and as an analyst at SHUAA Capital.

Hantas commented: “There is a clear and growing demand for personal accident cover across the MENA region. Abdul has a proven ability to build leading books of business, an in-depth knowledge of insureds’ requirements and a network of broker contacts, which he has developed based on his expertise and commitment to the highest levels of service.

“Maintaining the growth trajectory of our Middle East business requires expert underwriters who understand the market and can offer products that set us apart. Abdul is an excellent addition to our growing team, and I am very pleased to welcome him to ArgoGlobal.”
