CIGNA International Expands Sales and Service in Canada

CIGNA International Expatriate Benefits (CIEB), a world leader in group health benefits for expatriates, has expanded its Canadian division with the addition of two new market leaders. Allison Martin, new director of Canadian business development, and Tracey Trimble, new director of Canadian client management, will provide consultative sales and service expertise to clients in Canada and will be based in Ontario.

“We are committed to having the best and brightest talent in Canada as we look to further expand CIGNA's presence while providing outstanding support to advisors and clients,” said Michael Milos, vice president of Canadian sales.

Martin joins CIGNA with extensive sales and business development experience in the Canadian insurance marketplace for Sun Life Financial and previously with Canada Life Assurance Company. Her 18 years of group insurance experience make her well positioned to provide brokers and consultants in Canada with custom benefits solutions for clients and their globally mobile employees.

Trimble has client management experience in the Canadian group insurance industry, holding positions of increasing responsibility over the last 10 years with Sun Life Financial. Her customer service and client management experience on a national basis will help to shape the future of CIGNA's world-class service offerings in the Canadian market.

“Allison and Tracey both bring tremendous hands-on experience and knowledge in the areas of business development and client management, and will be integral in helping us provide a premium level of service and support to the Canadian market,” Milos said. “We want to be Canada's first choice for international benefits.”
