DUAL Europe has appointed Kajsa Peedu as Managing Director of DUAL Nordics.
Peedu, who has 29 years of experience in the insurance industry, will be based in Stockholm, Sweden, and will also oversee operations in Norway and Denmark. This move is expected to give DUAL a reach in 17 European countries.
Peedu was most recently the Head of Sales Commercial Lines at Trygg-Hansa/Tryg, and she has held various leadership roles in Underwriting and Portfolio Management, as well as working as a broker.
DUAL Nordics will initially offer Financial Lines, Professional Indemnity, Cyber, and M&A insurance solutions for medium-sized and large companies, with Construction to be offered later in 2023.
Peedu will work alongside Johan Strom, who heads up DUAL Finland, which has been operating successfully since 2015.
“Kajsa brings with her a wealth of experience, and her decision to join our team is a real testament to the strength of the DUAL brand in Europe. DUAL Finland has been successfully operating in Finland since 2015, and the addition of a new base in Sweden brings great local underwriting expertise across the Nordics region,” Olaf Jonda, CEO of DUAL Europe, said.
Peedu also expressed her excitement about the new role, saying, “I’m really excited to become a part of DUAL Europe and to establish DUAL Nordics, based in Stockholm. Our focus will be on working with our local broker network to bring local expertise backed by a global business of scale. We are looking to quickly build a strong Nordic underwriting team offering them the development opportunities and the people first culture of one of the world’s largest underwriting agencies.”
