October 15, 2024

QBE International Markets will launch a new U.S. inland marine offering by 2025 across all 50 states as it expands its specialty product suite.

The team and product will be added to QBE International Market’s growing ocean marine and energy divisions, based in Houston, Texas, and led by Kristina Bush.

Sharon Primerano has been appointed as vice president, U.S. Inland Marine Manager for QBE International Markets and is joined by Tiffany Lewis as vice president, marine and Max Dambach as underwriter. Prior to QBE, they worked at AIG.

“Sharon Primerano is an inland marine market veteran with experience managing some of the largest and most successful Inland Marine portfolios in the US,” said Sean Dollahon, U.S. marine manager for QBE International Markets. “The team is further boosted by the hires of Tiffany and Max who also have several years of experience underwriting ocean marine and Inland Marine between them.

“The new suite of Inland Marine products, available by January 2025, seek to complement our growing marine proposition and means we will be delivering a broad set of solutions to meet the needs of our clients and brokers.”

Next Insurance Launches Standalone Professional Liability for Consultants

Next Insurance announced the launch of its standalone professional liability coverage tailored specifically for consultants. This insurance solution was designed for the professional services sector, particularly those in business and technology consulting.

Accountants, architects, engineers, insurance agents, real estate brokers, and others can customize professional liability policies to protect against the most common risks to their profession. These include errors and omissions, personal and advertising injury, contingent bodily injury, and property damage coverage.

Since no two businesses are exactly the same, policies can be further customized with the option to purchase extended reporting period coverage for up to 36 months. Consultants are also eligible for prior acts coverage, safeguarding them against past liabilities. Coverage extends to full-time and part-time employees, interns, volunteers, and contractors and can be purchased directly online through partners or insurance agents.
