Starr forms enlarged excess casualty division
Starr Companies has created a new excess casualty division after combining its excess commercial accounts and excess national accounts units.
Vice president Layla Greytok has been promoted to spearhead the operations of this unit, along with a team of newly-appointed zonal underwriting managers including Warren Puffer for the New York Zone,
David Meyers for Eastern Zone, Laurie Jo Prager for Central Zone, and Leonard Streeter for Western Zone.
Andy Robinson, senior vice president, said: “The formation of the excess casualty division combines the underwriting expertise and resources of excess commercial accounts and excess national accounts to provide our broker partners with a more comprehensive and agile response.”
“Layla and her management team have been working diligently to cross-train underwriters, restructure resources and evaluate products that enable the Excess Casualty Division to more effectively address the needs of our middle-market and national accounts clients alongside our broker partners,” he added.
