Tysers, the independent Lloyd’s insurance broker owned by Australia’s AUB Group, has announced the appointment of Younes Younes as sector director for its maritime team in Dubai.
In his new role, Younes will help drive the development of Tysers’ property products within the reinsurance division.
Younes commented: “I am delighted to join Tysers Dubai to work with Amin and the team to drive strategic growth and development in the MENA region. My focus will be on creating effective solutions to protect Tysers customers, working closely with local and international markets to maximize our market impact.”
The executive brings nearly a decade of market experience to the company, most recently as Vice President Guy Carpenter in Dubai.
During his tenure, he was a key member of the non-energy interim team, specializing in real estate works and casualty, covering interim and retrocession, and building trusted relationships with insurers in the Middle East.
He also played a key role in large international placements, including accounts in London, Latin America and the Indian subcontinent. Previously, he was responsible for the Middle East and North Africa region for the RI Broking team in Dubai, focusing on both real estate and energy.
Amin Basbous, SEO at Tysers Dubai, said: “I’m delighted that Tysers Dubai can continue to attract talent like Younes as we continue to expand our expertise across the MENA region.
“Eunice is an excellent addition to the team, with extensive industry knowledge, an excellent market reputation and a proven track record of delivering best-in-class client service.”
