Sasha Gainullin

With over 20 years’ experience in the travel insurance industry, Sasha knows how to deliver on customer needs in emergency travel, medical assistance, emergency evacuation and claims management. For today’s modern travellers, Sasha combines this experience with a team-based approach to find innovative tech solutions for adventure-seekers, independent journalists, humanitarians and more.

Prior to battleface, he worked for AIG Travel Guard and the Tangiers Group, where he focused on customer service while developing new products and managing international medical, logistics and travel assistance operations.

Corporate social responsibility is important to Sasha. At Travel Guard, he helped build Nyumbani Village, a self-sustaining community in Kenya for AIDS-affected orphan children and elders. At Tangiers, Sasha supported MOAS, an organisation dedicated to providing search and rescue services, aid and emergency medical relief to refugees and migrants around the world.

Sasha grew up in Russia, studied at University of Wisconsin, travelled the world and now is based outside of Washington, D.C. along with his young family.
