Liberty taps AXA Art exec to launch new business in Netherlands

Liberty Specialty Markets (LSM), part of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, will begin underwriting fine art and specie in the Netherlands with the appointment of Paul Seip as senior underwriter.

Based in LSM’s office in The Hague, Seip will report to David Saillen, head of fine arts and specie for Continental Europe and also Rob Groenen, country manager for the Netherlands.

Seip will be tasked to develop new business and bespoke solutions for a wide range of clients in the Netherlands.

Seip joins LSM from AXA Art where he was senior underwriter for fine art and specie for five years. Prior to that he was with Allianz.

Kadidja Sinz, LSM’s head of Europe, said: "Paul’s appointment signals that our growth plans for Europe are well advanced. His arrival in The Hague opens up new avenues for our Netherlands team and will lead to the development of many great partnerships in this market. His established reputation and credentials in Fine Art and Specie are valuable assets to Liberty and our ambitions in this sector."
