Integra develops financial lines capability across Asia Pacific with key hires

Integra has added financial lines capability across the Asia Pacific region with the appointments of David Maritz as APAC Financial Lines Regional Lead and Janene Paki as Senior Executive Adjuster.

These appointments reinforce Integra’s commitment to delivering market-leadingexpertise in complex financial loss, business interruption, cyber, liability and litigation support matters, complementing the company’s established capabilities in these areas while further strengthening its property and liability offerings across the region. The expansion comes as demand grows for highly technical claims solutions throughout Asia Pacific.

David Maritz joins Integra with more than 30 years’ experience as a loss adjuster, forensic accountant and financial loss specialist.  Recognised across New Zealand, Australia and Asia for his expertise in complex financial and economic loss claims, David has advised insurers, policyholders, brokers and legal professionals on some of the region’s most challenging losses.

Most recently Managing Partner at a global forensic accounting firm, David led major business interruption and financial loss assignments across a broad range of industries, including power generation, cyber, agriculture, forestry, tourism and hospitality. Throughout his career he has acted as an expert witness and adviser in arbitrations, mediations and dispute resolution proceedings involving complex quantum assessments.

In his new role, David will lead the development of Integra’s Financial Lines offering across Asia Pacific, helping clients navigate increasingly sophisticated financial, cyber, fidelity, business interruption and economic loss exposures.

Also joining Integra is Janene Paki, one of New Zealand’s most respected property, liability and financial loss experts, with 30 years of loss adjusting experience.

Since beginning her career in 1996, Janene has managed complex commercial claims across New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands, developing deep expertise in major property damage, liability, product contamination and recall, alongside a broad range of financial loss claims including business interruption, fidelity, and other consequential losses. Her experience spans multiple sectors including food and beverage production, dairy, energy, forestry and timber processing, hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing, retail and professional services.

More recently Janene has focussed almost exclusively on specialty industries / assets and complex losses, sharing her knowledge with other adjusters and market participants. She most recently led a team of financial loss specialists in New Zealand and has extensive experience providing litigation support and advisory services involving business interruption, fidelity, stock reconciliation, product recall and contamination claims.

In her new role, Janene will contribute to the growth of Integra’s Financial Lines team, while further strengthening their broader property and specialist liability capabilities.

Together, these appointments position Integra to offer an even broader range of specialty services across the Financial Lines sector.

John Harris, Managing Director, Asia Pacific said, “The addition of David and Janene reflects our continued investment in high-calibre talent and expertise. As organisations face increasingly complex financial and operational risks, with evolving new products, our clients require experienced professionals who can deliver practical solutions, technical excellence and trusted advice. David and Janene embody those qualities and will play a key role in the growth of Integra in Asia Pacific and beyond.”
