MGA Nirvana hires Axis Capital underwriter to expand portfolio

Nirvana Risk Partners, an underwriting cell on Castel Underwriting Agencies' managing general agent (MGA) formation platform, has appointed Glenn Crickmar as underwriter to expand the team's specialist media, technology and cyber liability capabilities.

In his new role, Crickmar will focus on building Nirvana’s distribution partnerships and developing new opportunities across its portfolio and broad territorial footprint.

He joins Nirvana from Axis Capital where he was film & TV, media, technology and cyber underwriter in both the London company and Lloyd’s markets.

Nirvana underwrites risks for small and large enterprises on a global basis with a particular emphasis on UK, US and EU markets. 100 percent of Nirvana’s capacity is provided by Lloyd’s syndicates.

Rob Jones, partner at Nirvana, said: "Glenn brings the team proven expertise in developing profitable business across all of our lines. His experience and knowledge will enable us to respond to the specific needs of brokers in these important convergent specialist classes."
