Specialty lines insurance brokerage PLATFORM Insurance Management has named Tiaan Coetzer, CPA, CA (pictured) as its newest director of the financial services group.
The company’s financial services group includes advisory and brokering services on M&A transactional risk, D&O insurance, crime, and other financial lines of insurance.
Coetzer joins PLATFORM from Deloitte, where he spent nine years serving positions of increasing responsibility on the audit team, most recently as senior manager of the company’s M&A advisory group in Toronto. Apart from Canada, Coetzer’s time at Deloitte also saw him based in South Africa and in San Francisco, California.
“Tiaan’s commercial industry experience coupled with his training as a Chartered Accountant resonates with clients and gives us more in-depth tools to work with when designing their insurance program,” said PLATFORM CEO Charles Quenneville.
“PLATFORM is a niche player focusing very narrowly on a select group of industry verticals, the launch of our Financial Services Group fits well with our strategy to be a primary player in high barrier to entry lines of business,” added PLATFORM president Matthew Francis.
