Markel Insurance, the insurance operation within Markel Group, has appointed Mr Sebastian Rice as Head of Global Development - Trade Credit, International.
In his new role, he will work closely with Mr Phil Amlot, Global Head of Trade Credit – International, to drive innovative, solution-led underwriting and develop bespoke offerings that respond to evolving market conditions and client needs. His role will include supporting clients navigating an increasingly complex trade environment shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain disruption and shifting credit risks.
Mr Rice will also co-ordinate a global cohort of trade credit underwriters across Markel’s offices in New York, Singapore, Dubai and London to align with key partner relationships.
He joined Markel two years ago, and has played a key role in developing new solutions, including the company’s non-cancellable limits offering, which enables clients to operate with greater certainty in the event of non-payment. In his new role, he will build on this momentum to further strengthen Markel’s position as a trade credit insurer of choice for multinational businesses.
