York strengthens Latin American operations

York International, a subsidiary of York Risk Services Group and a part of York Specialised Loss Adjusting, has appointed Jennifer Betancourt to further strengthen its financial lines claims capabilities within Latin America.

Betancourt will be based initially in Buenos Aires and report to Norman Mitchell, executive director and head of financial lines in York International’s London headquarters on the development and delivery of the financial lines claims services across all Latin American business.

Betancourt joins York International’s Financial Lines team following three years working with York in Buenos Aires where she provided loss adjusting services on general liability and financial lines claims in the Mercosur countries.

Mitchell said: “Jennifer’s extensive experience managing financial lines losses for clients in Latin America gives her an in-depth understanding of the needs and requirements of clients in the local markets across the region that allows us to deliver not just strong results but excellent service.”
