Casualty leaders at Argo discussed their strategies to stay ahead of emerging casualty trends and risks in the new year.
- Focus underwriting efforts on top business. David Corry, Head of Casualty, outlined a plan to focus on wholesale distributors and the company’s larger trading partners. “That’s the best strategy for us – not necessarily trying to be all things to all people,” says Corry. “We can harness our resources on our top customers and continue to grow and expand, and also know exactly where we want to write.”
- Add more people to the team. Chris Schramm, VP, Head of Primary and Excess Casualty, discussed new hires and promotions heading into 2025. “The E&S industry has been transforming from a market of last resort to a robust marketplace where brokers can find solutions for their clients,” says Schramm. “Our expanding team will allow us to provide creative solutions and create deeper relationships with our broker partners.”
- Introduce new products to meet market demand. Danielle Sheridan, AVP, Construction, Owners, is excited to add a new coverage option that affords project owners more flexibility with their directly hired contractor: a soft hammer deductible warranty. “The mindset shift is all about creativity and flexibility,” says Sheridan. “We’re focused on moving the needle to get deals done.”
