Lloyd’s has appointed Witold Janusz as its first representative for Poland.
His primary role will be working on the process of gaining a full establishment licence for Lloyd’s in Poland which has been identified as offering strong potential opportunities for the Lloyd’s market.
Once Lloyd’s has a full establishment licence in Poland, Mr Janusz will take on a more general role as Lloyd’s representative, responsible for working on business development while maintaining Lloyd’s relationships with the local regulatory authorities.
Janusz has over 20 years of experience in the Polish market starting his career at TUiR WARTA S.A. in Gdynia, where he became Head of the P&I Claims department. He joins Lloyd’s from HDI-Gerling where he was a member of the board, and prior to that he was vice-president of Sopockie Towarzystwo Ubezpieczeń (STU) Ergo Hestia S.A.
Jose Ribeiro, Director of International Markets and Business Development at Lloyd’s commented:
“We welcome Witold to our team of European representatives under the leadership of Enrico Bertagna our Regional Director for Europe. He has a strong background in the Polish insurance market and his skills and local knowledge will be an important asset to Lloyd’s as we apply for an establishment licence in Poland.”
Witold Janusz, added:
“Lloyd’s is a household name with a worldwide reputation for specialist insurance. I am delighted to be joining Lloyd’s as its first representative in Poland and look forward to working with the market to develop opportunities in the country.”
