Professional Bio
I'm a Senior Builder’s Risk Underwriter with experience focused on large-scale commercial and civil construction projects, often exceeding $2B in total insurable value. Currently, I am underwriting at MSIG USA, where I specializes in follow-market placements, partnering closely with brokers and lead markets to align on pricing, coverage, and structure while deploying significant capacity.
Prior to MSIG, I've held underwriting roles at Everest and Chubb, where I've developed a strong foundation in evaluating complex construction risks, including CAT exposures, project scheduling, and contractor profiles. I have a proven track record of building meaningful broker relationships, growing regional portfolios, and contributing to disciplined, profitable underwriting results.
My underwriting is practical, deal-focused approach, combining technical expertise with a collaborative mindset to support successful placements across a wide range of construction projects.
