AMADOR (a summary of his life....so far)

His parents were both school teachers and he is the oldest of four children, three boys and a sister, who was the youngest one and who sadly left this world prematurely, when she was only 46 years old.

He moved to London during September 1991, where he joined the Lloyd's of London International insurance broking community. Amador has more than 32 years' experience in the international reinsurance business, of which more than 30 years spent in the London (Lloyd's) market. He started his reinsurance career in his native Venezuela during February 1984 as a reinsurance accounts technician and he progressed towards the position of Treaty underwriter for Latin American and Caribbean business. 
















Amador has worked in London mainly in developing, producing, placing and servicing facultative and treaty reinsurance programmes from Latin America, Caribbean & the Iberian Peninsula and he has established long-lasting business relationships with his clients and underwriters.
During May 2011 Amador founded his own insurance and reinsurance / consulting and advisory firm known as: "DART Associates Limited", in association with a retired London market underwriter, in order to continue to work with his clients and well known business associates. DART traded until the end of December 2015 when it changed its corporate branding name to: "ART Insurance Services Limited"


Note: 
 
ART Insurance Services Limited ceased all business consulting operations on Friday 18th October 2019. An official submission of closing/striking off the company was sent to Companies House in the UK.
