GRUPO ADDVALORA expands operations in MEXICO and THE CARIBBEAN
EDUARDO KIMSI, General Manager at Addvalora Mexico / Deputy Chairman at Addvalora Puerto Rico
As of current March, Eduardo Kimsi and his team have joined Grupo Addvalora, where Eduardo will hold both positions of General Manager at Addvalora Mexico and Deputy Chairman at Addvalora Puerto Rico.
Eduardo holds a degree in Business Administration (BA), specialising in Finance. He was a founding partner of the adjustment firm Kimsi & Associates (International Loss Adjusters and Surveyors), with operations in Mexico and Puerto Rico.
He has more than 30 years of experience in the insurance and reinsurance market in Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States. Throughout his career he has held positions as Claims Broker for Heath Group in London and, in Mexico, as Director of Mclarens, Director of Crawford, Head of Complex Claims at Aon and, again at Crawford, as Director for Latin America.
One of the standout characteristics of his leadership approach is his keen emphasis on fostering business growth, fostering teamwork, and prioritizing the well-being of individuals, recognizing them as invaluable assets crucial for maximizing an organization’s potential. His extensive experience and proven expertise render him an excellent match for our organization.
He is an expert in CAT NAT, as well as in handling complex property claims, including fire, machinery breakdown, construction and engineering risks, loss of profit and liability. We highlight his implication in the adjustment of CAT claims arising from the earthquakes in El Salvador (2001), Chile (2010), Ecuador (2016), Mexico (2017) and Puerto Rico (2020) and from hurricanes Kenna (2003), Wilma (2005), Ingrid and Manuel (2013), Odile (2014), Delta and Zeta (2020), Otis (2023) in Mexico, as well as hurricanes George (1998), Irma and Maria (2017) and Fiona (2022) in Puerto Rico.
Having Eduardo and his team involves that the Addvalora’s Mexican operation will now have 50 adjusters specialising in all lines of business, and a network of offices in the country’s main cities: Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Querétaro, Mexicali and Mérida (which also handles claims in Cancún and Campeche). On the other hand, we strengthened our operation in Puerto Rico so that our clients can count on our support for the handling of claims arising from catastrophic events.
With the addition of Eduardo Kimsi and his team, we continue to add talent and we extend our resources in Latin America and the Caribbean.
From Grupo Addvalora we give them a warm welcome and wish them every success in this new stage.
