Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance (BHSI) has expanded its presence in Australia with a new office in Adelaide, and appointed Monica Holland as underwriting manager and casualty manager for South Australia.

Holland brings nearly 25 years of industry experience to the role, most of which was spent at property/casualty insurer Chubb. She was most recently state manager and distribution manager for Chubb in Adelaide. Prior to joining Chubb in 2002, she worked at Royal & Sun Alliance Australia and FAI Insurance.

In her new role, Holland will work closely with BHSI’s team in Melbourne to deliver the company’s full range of product offerings, including property, liability, executive & professional lines, marine, accident & health and healthcare insurance solutions.

“We are pleased to expand our team and geographic reach with our new Adelaide office, which will provide our suite of specialty products to customers and brokers. Monica has extensive experience in the South Australia insurance industry, and we are pleased to have her representing BHSI. Monica’s local expertise will allow us to partner more effectively with our brokers and customers in South Australia.” said Mark Lingafelter, president, Australasia, BHSI.
