Global Head of Corporate Insurance

Interim Management Services 
The deep level of risk prevention and insurance expertise, combined with long-standing experience of working in an international business environment, made the interim manager a highly trusted partner for the insurance team, its internal business partners, as well external suppliers. Their communication was clear, and they exceeded expectations, delivering a smooth handover and excellent aftercare services.

M&A Project Management 
BAIK supported Unilever during a major business disposal, managing insurance separation activities to temporarily support our team on the insurance separation activities in the period towards completion of the transaction. Their team provided project management services, working closely with internal stakeholders, external brokers, and insurers, ensuring seamless project execution. Task allocation and deliverables were very clear at all times and carefully aligned to optimise the skills and competencies of individuals involved. Their expertise was critical in delivering efficient and flawless project management.

Senior Director Global Treasury & Insurance

From the moment I first interacted with Arthur, I was impressed by his professionalism, expertise, leadership, and commitment to ensuring that all the company’s insurance needs were met. Throughout our partnership, Arthur demonstrated a high level of knowledge in the field, helping us navigate the world of insurance with ease.

What truly set Arthur apart was his unwavering dedication to fostering the global insurance team. He went above and beyond to support and ensure that any issues or concerns were promptly addressed. Arthur’s independent ways of working and proactive approach to keeping me informed about relevant policy updates, renewal deadlines, and potential cost-saving opportunities were truly appreciated.

I am grateful for the services provided when the Global Insurance team was going through a challenging period. Arthur’s professionalism, knowledge, and dedication have made the process of managing our corporate insurance needs not only efficient but also a genuinely pleasant experience.

Global Internal Audit Director

Arthur examined the Global Insurance function against a set of values derived from the group’s operating model, which offers guidance for the required framework of policies in order to meet the targets, a corporate governance structure and controls as agreed within the Global Internal Audit framework. Arthur applied the right calibre of skills and expertise and provided good insights and advice.

Arthur understood our situation and translated that into valuable recommendations. His non-confronting personality makes it easier for the auditee to accept recommendations. The overall benefit was a road map provided for the operating model spread over two years and allocated over multiple dimensions of the insurance function. The design effort for the operating model would not have been possible without the report and the perception by the business that Arthur is in the best position to support the business to translate reported observations into reality.
