ARAG appoints CFO and head Underwriter as expansion continues

ARAG Services Corporation has announced two key appointments as the company builds on the early successes it has had since launching in 2016.

 

Scott Williams has been appointed Chief Financial Officer and will also act as ARAG’s Principal Broker. Scott is a CPA with more than 25 years’ experience in the Canadian insurance industry, working in the areas of financial and operations management.

Graham Martin joins the company as Assistant Vice President and will be responsible for leading the company’s underwriting operations. He brings with him almost twenty years of legal expenses insurance experience, first in the UK and, in more recent years, Canada.

“I’m really pleased to bring such talented people aboard to help develop the ARAG story in Canada.” commented CEO, Peter Talacek. “This is an important time for the company and sustaining our initial growth depends upon having the right people in the organisation.”

“Scott has a wealth of experience working with MGAs, which is highly beneficial, not just because ARAG is one, but also because we are doing more and more business with other MGAs at the moment, and I can only see that growing.”

“Graham is also highly experienced. To find a candidate with a legal protection background was a distinct bonus, but that he has worked both in the UK market and here, almost since the concept of legal expenses insurance was introduced in Canada, makes Graham almost uniquely qualified and a great asset to the team.”
