One specialty lines insurer is making some noise as of late, landing a former

Trisura Guarantee Insurance Company has announced that Robert Landry has joined the company’s Board of Directors, bringing one of the industry’s heavy hitters out of a seven-year retirement.

Landry is an experienced leader from the insurance sector, having served as President and CEO of Zurich Insurance Company’s Canadian operations for six years, retiring in 2007. From 2006 to 2009 he was a Director of the Insurance Institute of Canada, and served as Chair of that organization in 2007.
Trisura Guarantee Insurance Company has a nationwide presence, with offices in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Halifax, Quebec City and Vancouver.
Landry holds the Fellow Chartered Insurance Professional (FCIP) designation from The Insurance Institute of Canada. In 2009, he received the ICD.D designation from the Institute of Corporate Directors. He currently lives in Mississauga, Ont.
