BHSI takes on Asian accident and health

Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance (BHSI) will offer accident and health (A&H) products in Asia as it looks to grow its business in the region.

The insurer has appointed industry veteran Phillip Brain as Head of A&H.

The operation will initially focus on broker-distributed group personal accident and business travel products.

“[Mr Brain] has extensive experience in all aspects of the A&H space, from product underwriting and innovation to technology,” BHSI President Asia Marc Breuil said.

“With his leadership, we look forward to establishing an A&H team that will provide employees and employers throughout Asia with meaningful tailored solutions, backed by BHSI’s service, stability and financial strength.”

Mr Brain, a New Zealander, was most recently Chubb VP and group manager A&H Asia-Pacific. Before that he was AIG Asia-Pacific regional VP and group A&H manager.
