Our History
Founder, Chairman and General Manager, Fouad Kamel, built CGA on the foundations of over five decades in the industry. In 1967, he established Kamel Insurance Office (KIO), a privately owned insurance brokerage firm, and then in 1973, he co-founded The Overseas Insurance & Reinsurance Co. SAL in Beirut, Lebanon.
By the 1990s, Kamel expanded KIO’s operational activities to Saudi Arabia, where in a joint venture with Al Rajhi Group, he initiated the Al Rajhi Insurance Company. His journey led him back to CGA, where with other board members, they created a forward-thinking, well-defined structure.
