Cover-More looks to cover Canada

Mark Linton was recently appointed as Cover-More’s head of sales for the U.S. and Canada, following the company's announcement that their executive Carole Tokody was relocating to New York as CEO, US & Canada and Global Direct to lead their North American and northern hemisphere expansion.

Linton will report directly to Tokody and will be responsible for the sales of travel insurance and ancillary products and services in North America. Linton’s experience includes 15 years with RBC Insurance where he managed a national sales team, maintaining and acquiring numerous large national and regional accounts.
