Kirill Patyrykin
Insurance Savant
I'm the founder and Managing Director of Sun Marine & Trading Management, and I also oversee operations of eSport.fund combining my passion for insurance and competitive gaming.
My career in insurance began in 2008 as a claims manager for a regional shipping company in the Russian Far East. After moving to Moscow, I broadened my expertise by working as a claims manager, underwriter, and placing broker across several firms.
In 2013, I became Managing Director at Sky Re, a joint venture insurance company in St. Kitts & Nevis, where I worked tirelessly until 2022, transforming the company from a $200,000 startup to a $90 million enterprise.
In 2024, I embarked on another journey, setting up an insurance portfolio management firm with a proficient team of maritime and financial risk underwriters and claims adjusters.
Rather than expanding the team for the sake of headcount, I stress "knowledge is power" and "technology-first" philosophy to my colleagues, highlighting the role of cutting-edge solutions, algorithmic underwriting, automation, modernization, and continuous internal training to drive results.
I believe in a personalized, client-focused approach where any client vision can be technically realized, limited only by supply and demand. This mindset allows my team to deliver solutions when others hesitate to begin.
