Nabil Maroun (pictured above) has joined Sedgwick’s Canadian operations as an executive general adjuster in the major and complex loss division.

A press release from Sedgwick called the move a strategic hire that reflects the company’s commitment to the Canadian market, along with its goal of providing the broadest range of claims, loss adjusting, and risk consulting solutions and expertise.

An internationally experienced insurance professional, Maroun has spent over a decade working with insurers in Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates. In recent years, he has been providing independent claims management solutions to Canadian and foreign clients.

Maroun’s expertise includes complex coverage determinations for portfolio losses related to property, power, energy, construction, marine cargo and transportation, workers’ compensation, political risk claims, and different types of liability risks, including product recall.

He has also managed litigated cases in the Middle East, Canada, the US, and the UK, which yielded a unique range of regulatory expertise that covers complaint management, fraud prevention and detection, regulatory compliance, corporate governance, and economic sanctions due diligence.

“Nabil brings to Sedgwick a high level of multijurisdictional experience that will touch all aspects of our business and relationships in the industry,” said Lee Powell, Sedgwick VP of major and complex loss in Canada. “His impressive technical claims management, deep analytical skills and record as a galvanizing people leader complement Sedgwick’s outlook for the Canadian marketplace and will elevate our major and complex loss team’s service offering.”

Maroun is a fully licensed Ontario adjuster by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) and a member of the Canadian Independent Adjusters’ Association. He holds a professional accreditation from the Insurance Institute of Canada and has earned the institute’s Chartered Insurance Professional (CIP) recognition. He also has a certificate in insurance from The Chartered Insurance Institute in the UK.

He received his bachelor's degree in insurance from Saint-Joseph University in Beirut, Lebanon.

The news of Maroun’s appointment comes after Kumar Siva joined Sedgwick as senior vice president for third party administration (TPA) services and desktop solutions in Canada.
