Stewart Kinloch has been acting Chief Executive Officer of African Trade Insurance Agency Ltd since July 31, 2009 till October 2011 and serves as its Chief Underwriting Officer. Mr. Kinloch has nearly three decades of international banking and credit insurance experience with such notable institutions as the Royal Bank of Scotland, QBE, where he served as Deputy Head of Trade Credit and Surety for Europe, and with Atradius as the Regional Director for Underwriting.

Stewart Kinloch writes about LCI and Lebanon:

“From 30 August to 9 September, I visited LCI and had the opportunity to visit all departments. In my view, and based on 16 years of experience in Trade Credit Insurance and Political Risk Insurance, LCI is a very professional organization that belies the modest number of staff employed. The underwriting team at the heart of the organization is highly skilled and has a solid command of credit risks within the Middle East and beyond.

I would like to thank all members of staff for their time and for their enthusiasm when faced with many questions.

I would also like to record that I think the Lebanon and Beirut are beautiful. I was lucky enough to visit both sites of antiquity and to go hill walking. I will now consider myself an ambassador for tourism in the Lebanon and hope to return with my sons to make a proper holiday someday.”
