Berkshire's BHSI expands global property underwriting leadership

Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance (BHSI) has expanded its global property underwriting officer team with the addition of Alessandro Cerase, who will focus on general property, energy and construction.

Based in Dubai, Cerase will also retain his role as senior executive officer (SEO) for BHSI’s Middle East region. He joined the company in 2018.

“With our property portfolio growing worldwide, it is the perfect time to expand our global property leadership team, led by Dean LaPierre, and to expand Alessandro’s invaluable contributions to BHSI globally,” said David Fields, global chief underwriting officer, BHSI. “This move is indicative of the strength and depth of BHSI’s team, not only in property but across all our lines of business -- and of the excellent advancement opportunities available for BHSI teammates around the globe.”
