Ex-QBE finserv exec will drive growth in Southeast Asia
Singapore, March 26 2024 – KoverNow, the popular digital insurance platform, has announced the appointment of John Trotter, the financial services business development expert, as Chief Sales Officer and Managing Director for Hong Kong. A specialist in digital partnerships and eco-systems across multiple industry sectors and geographies, John Trotter will be responsible for expanding KoverNow’s customer base beyond Singapore and launching its popular digital insurance app in Hong Kong.
The hiring of a seasoned and dedicated sales manager is a significant development that will allow KoverNow to broaden its scope, enabling it to expand outside its core customer base in Singapore. The KoverNow app, which provides a combination of both items and travel insurance cover and offers ‘metered’ policy terms for maximum flexibility and value, has grown in popularity in Singapore due to its ease of use.
John Trotter joins the KoverNow team with a wealth of international experience, having led the business development teams for Tesco, AXA, Sun Life and QBE. He has led partnership deals in Europe and Asia and has set up direct-to-customer insurance channels for several large global insurers.
“We are very excited to welcome John to the team,” said Stephan Kaiser, CEO at KoverNow. “He is a passionate advocate for innovation and technology that makes customers’ lives easier and his familiarity with disruptive insurance solutions means he is ideal for heading up our expansion into a new territory.”
John Trotter’s appointment took effect from March 1st.
