Triton Global expands into Canada
Triton Claims, the commercial claims management arm of Triton Global, has expanded into Canada with the opening of a new office in Toronto.
The Canadian operation will be led by Krystyna Kouri, vice president of Triton Claims Canada. Kouri previously served as complex claims director at AIG Canada; prior to that she was claims counsel at Liberty International and at Encon.
Dino Zenarosa takes up the role of assistant vice president of Triton Claims Canada. He joins from Cott Corporation where he was claims manager and prior to that, was senior claims examiner at Catlin Canada.
The primary focus of the Toronto business will be commercial claims handling (financial lines, property & casualty) and audit services.
Neil Sully, global head of claims, Triton Global, said: “In 2013, Lloyd’s premium income in Canada accounted for C$2.05 billion and 49 percent of that premium derived from liability business – our specialist area.
“Managing agents want to reduce the number of TPAs they contract with globally and the opening of our new office means that we can now handle commercial claims for them in another major insurance territory. Establishing our Toronto office marks the next step in the development of Triton Global and will complement the work of our teams in the UK, US, Australia and Asia.
“A number of our London Market clients had expressed a desire to replicate our existing claims management services into Canada and we are pleased to now be able to offer this service to them.”
John Coleman, chief executive officer of Triton Global, added: “The vision of Triton Global is to provide our clients with a complete commercial claims handling and resolution capability across our global footprint. Toronto, in addition to being a centre for domestic Canadian insurance, is an important and fast growing London Market territory. This new presence in Canada will go a long way to ensuring that we provide our clients with a truly global service.”
