(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK — Berkley Asset Protection and Berkley Canada jointly introduce Olivia Cinqmars-Viau as Assistant Vice President, Territory Manager for Berkley Asset Protection in the Canadian marketplace.

“We are thrilled to have Olivia join the Berkley Asset Protection team,” says Chip Dowd, Berkley Asset Protection president. “Her extensive experience and knowledge in the specialty fine art and collectibles space is vital to expanding our global reach and branching out further in the Canadian market.”

Berkley Asset Protection was established in 2008 to deliver the industry’s most complete and high-quality portfolio of specialized insurance products and services designed to protect fine art, jewelry and other high-value, personal and commercial assets. They support the market through close partnerships with an established distribution network of brokers who cater to a global base of clients in a variety of environments, including private and corporate art collections, museums, galleries, and exhibitions, jewelry wholesalers, retailers, and manufacturers, along with those who work with collectibles, currencies, securities, and other high-value assets.

“In relocating back to Canada, my goal is to apply my global expertise in this niche to the Canadian marketplace in order to provide truly local solutions and outstanding service for our business partners,” says Olivia, who joined Berkley last quarter after almost ten years at leading global insurer AXA XL where she held roles in Underwriting, Management and Sales spanning Canada, the US and Mexico in the insurer’s fine art, collectibles and high net worth space. Olivia holds a Masters of Arts (MA) from Sotheby’s Institute of Art London, where she began her career in the auction house’s contemporary art department. In addition, she maintains her designation as a Chartered Insurance Professional (CIP) in Canada.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
