About
Direct authority. Five products. Local decisions.
Greystone Insurance LLC underwrites credit protection, surety, and marine across Africa, MENA, LatAm, and Europe. We stay for the claim.
Direct underwriting
We do not broker through third parties. Faster decisions, a direct client relationship, and full accountability on every placement. You deal with the underwriter, not a middleman.
Five-product specialisation
Credit protection, performance bonds, APGs, bid bonds, and marine. Dedicated teams. We are not generalists covering everything. We write the five instruments that matter most in emerging markets.
Local authority
Teams embedded in each region assess contractor capacity, project complexity, and regulatory nuance, then decide locally, to a global standard.
How we work
Assess locally. Decide locally. Pay locally.
The same desk that underwrote the risk manages the claim. Continuity is part of the cover.
Underwriting in practice
Limited involvement and slow resolution is what the market was used to. Direct authority changed who answered, and how fast the claim moved.
Amara Okonkwo, Group Chief Executive
Why Greystone

Desks

Leadership
The people who stay with the cover.
Amara Okonkwo
Group Chief Executive
Executive Leadership
Amara leads Greystone Insurance LLC. She built the direct-underwriting model across Africa, MENA, and Europe, and still sits with clients when a facility or a claim will define the relationship.
Henrik Voss
Chief Underwriting Officer
Underwriting
Henrik is accountable for underwriting quality across the five products. Direct authority means the decision is his desk's, not a committee two markets away.
Leila Rahman
Head of International Markets
Executive Leadership
Leila coordinates the four regional desks. Her brief is that a risk assessed in Lagos, Riyadh, São Paulo, or London is decided with the same standard.
Julian Chen
Head of Claims
Advisory
Julian leads claims, from first notice through settlement. Direct underwriting only holds if the same house pays when the event is due.
