Expertise that creates trust.

When you meet Martin, it quickly becomes clear: he speaks with the authority of someone who knows the field inside and out. Over 20 years ago, he began his career as an intern at what was then the leading art insurance provider. Since then, he has held a range of positions in the insurance industry and most recently led a large, regionally diverse underwriting team. Martin now brings his extensive experience in managing complex risks to Curated Cover—where he aims to set new benchmarks in the All-Risk segment. He approaches policies the way one would curate an exhibition: structured, persuasive, cohesive, and built to last.

Having also worked on the brokerage side, she offers a deep understanding of both perspectives. Her technical know-how is matched by a keen sense for people and relationships. Kirsten’s strength lies in grasping complex requirements, thinking creatively, and crafting insurance solutions that are both tailored and resilient.

Her deep understanding of both art history and insurance allows her, at Curated Cover, to ensure that valuable assets are not only appreciated, but also reliably protected.
