Assurant Solutions Strengthens its Sales and Marketing Team

Assurant Solutions is strengthening its UK sales and marketing team with two key appointments.

Jatinder Thethi has been appointed Client Relationship Manager. Jatinder joins Assurant Solutions from Genworth Financial (formerly GE Financial Insurance) where he held the position of Client Servicing Manager, responsible for key customer relationships in the UK.

In his new role, Jatinder will strengthen the already well-established Assurant Solutions client relationship team. He will manage its client relationships, growing and developing existing client portfolios, and identifying new opportunities within the existing client base. Jatinder comments: "I aim to bring focus to strategic business opportunities. Assurant Solutions has a very experienced client relationship team, and I'm confident clients will benefit from our focussed support across functions, markets and products to help their organisations grow and develop."

Adrian Skeete also joins Assurant Solutions as Market Research and Intelligence Manager. This pivotal new appointment is indicative of the Assurant Solutions commitment to becoming the leading provider of niche insurance solutions. Ian Moffatt, Sales and Marketing Director, said: "It's thanks to our expertise and understanding of the marketplace and customer needs that we are able to continually anticipate customer needs - revitalising existing products and services or introducing new ones. Adrian will be central to ensuring we keep that finger on the pulse to continue to deliver flexibility, expertise and innovation."

Adrian joins Assurant Solutions from Citicorp where he was responsible for operational, competitor and market analysis in the mortgage and personal loans market to direct its strategic decisions. A strong strategic thinker, Adrian brings with him ten years of commercial business, strategic, marketing, research and financial analysis experience.

Commenting on these appoints, Ian Moffatt, Sales and Marketing Director, said: "We have exciting plans for our business both in the UK and Ireland, so it is important to strengthen our sales and marketing team not only to support these ambitions but to ensure we continue to develop innovative products that deliver value and flexibility to our clients and their customers."
