Suresh Nair biography

 

'As I look back on the year 2021, one of the key highlights was the continued involvement with the CII as a Goodwill Ambassador. The CII is a fantastic institution with tremendous goodwill attached to it and it is a singular honour to be acting as a GWA to promote the CII objectives in the region. It is also a matter of professional pride to be part of a select group of GWAs who are all experts and industry veterans.

Personally, I am indebted to the CII for the manner in which it has contributed to and assisted in my career growth during the past decades.  I have looked upon being a GWA as a great opportunity to give something back to the CII. At a broader level, with the work which the CII is doing to improve professional and ethical standards in the insurance industry, I look upon the GWA appointment as an opportunity to pay back the insurance industry at large for providing me with a viable profession and career' - Suresh Nair

Suresh has been in the insurance profession for over two decades and is currently the Executive Director at Gargash Insurance Services who are a broker based in Dubai.
