World-wide presence

Claudia first joined Gard as an underwriter but has also worked in the compliance department. In 2022 she became a Team Leader in Gard’s Know Your Customer (KYC) Advisory Team.

“The legal and regulatory landscape is constantly changing, so having hands-on and up-to-date expertise is vital to ensure that we provide the best possible advice and guidance,” she says.

“The marine industries are evolving, and it’s interesting to be part of this development. You never stop learning and growing,” she adds.

Nick joined our Marine Claims department in Bergen back in 2015. As a Senior Claims Executive, his role is varied, touching on marine engineering, law, shipping logistics, and insurance adjusting.

“In addition comes the ‘soft’ skills, such as negotiations and presentations. It is a varied and challenging role, often of a very international flavour,” Nick adds. He sees Gard as a ‘proud yet humble’ organisation, where knowledge-sharing and integrity are core values.

Chief Claims Officer

Zirui joined Gard in 2019 right after having graduated from university. As a Deputy Claims Executive, she works closely together with colleagues, as well as with Members and clients, to make sure that we find the best possible solutions when accidents strike or something goes wrong.

 “It’s an interesting and very rewarding job. I like the breadth and diversity of the knowledge that I learn and being able to assist our members and clients in their day-to-day operations." Zirui adds. 

Claims Executive

Vivek initially worked as a consultant for Gard and later became a full-time part of the Gard infrastructure and operations team.

“It’s an interesting and challenging job, where you get to work with a lot of different technologies,” he says.

Insurance is no longer ‘only’ about underwriting, claims and finance. A growing part of Gard’s in-house competencies are related to technology and digitalisation.

Any regrets moving from India to Scandinavia?

“No. That’s one of the great things about Gard – you will continue to work with people from all over the world. We are diverse, but tightly connected.”
