Mr. AbdulAziz A. Khajah, Eng., ACII, MBA

Combining a degree in Mechanical Engineering with substantial experience in the insurance and reinsurance industries has given Aziz a valuable set of skills that are applicable to a wide variety of insurance-related ventures. Aziz started in the Property and Casualty division of Gulf Insurance Company- Kuwait's largest insurer by premium and profits. After obtaining his ACII, he was promoted to the Energy Department, the first of its kind in Kuwait, where he worked directly with reinsurers to set the reinsurance program for Kuwait Petroleum Company (KPC) and its sister companies - the largest insurance account in Kuwait.

That position involved surveying and claims settlements of facilities worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and thus involved Aziz with the top surveyors and claims experts in the region. Aziz also has experience in the reinsurance market, where he was involved in the retrocession of Al Fajer Re's outward reinsurance, a position that has given him substantial exposure to the global insurance market. In Al Fajer Re, Aziz also handled the claims side, exposing him to a wide range of large losses, and exposing him to the leading loss adjustors in the region.
