Christopher Ridge is a Insurance Professional at Kemira. Colleagues describe him as "When I interviewed Chris Ridge eleven years ago, he had just completed his studies at UGA. He graduated at the top of his class in the Risk Management program. I liked him so much I decided before the interview was finished to hire him; doing so was one the best decisions I've ever made as a manager. Chris proved to be an exceptionally quick study and I thoroughly enjoyed teaching him everything I know about risk management. He now has a decade of experience in a very active risk management department, including experience in insurance policy review, policy procurement, program structure, broker management, acquisition due diligence and assimilation, management reporting and accounting, and many other critical risk management functions. Chris received a well-deserved promotion from Risk Analyst to Manager of the Insurance Services group in 2018. Throughout the years we've worked together, he has been my right hand in managing a large and complex insurance program consisting of more than 180 insurance policies and self-insured programs and a surety program with bond obligations valued at over $600M. Chris quickly became proficient in making a variety of surety placements, including review of underlying contract obligations. He is also responsible for managing a very active builders risk program.
Chris has always been proactive, quick to research anything he doesn't know, and not hesitant to ask questions. He has the best and most even-keeled personality of anyone I know. Chris has earned the trust and respect of our brokers and our colleagues in ABM's legal, finance and operational segments. People know they can always rely on Chris to provide solid direction on risk management issues. He is a manager's dream employee and has great potential to succeed in his future endeavors. I couldn't offer a higher recommendation."
