The former AXA Partners senior account manager brings more than two decades of industry experience to the legal expenses insurer. Knief’s remit will centre on managing existing corporate relationships and identifying growth opportunities with partners across the firm’s ancillary product range.

“I am very excited to be able to join the team here at Arc Legal, especially during this exciting period of continued growth and expansion,” commented Knief. “I am looking forward to hitting the ground running and contributing towards the continued success of the business.”

Meanwhile chief commercial officer Peter Harvey, who described the addition as “a great fit,” pointed to further growth as behind the move to boost Arc Legal’s corporate relations team.

“Kerry has a wealth of experience in the industry, and her appointment will help to ensure we continue to meet our growth ambitions for 2019 and beyond,” noted Harvey. “She has a fantastic reputation in the industry and we are delighted to have her on board.”
