NEW YORK-BASED PRESIDENT OF NORTHEAST BUSINESS INSURANCE OPERATIONS AT LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE CO.
PREVIOUS POSITION: New York-based regional vice president of Metro New York and Northeast business insurance operations for Liberty Mutual
GOALS FOR NEW POSITION: To grow business profitably within our preferred appetite in all of our Northeast markets.
CHALLENGES FACING INDUSTRY: Competition is being fueled by excess capital combined with low interest rates, making underwriting all the more critical to earnings. Second, as an industry we need to step up to attract and retain top talent.
INDUSTRY OUTLOOK: Most companies are focused on smart underwriting results through enhanced analytics. Given this, I see a stable outlook with the industry looking for low single-digit pricing to keep up with loss cost.
FIRST INDUSTRY JOB: Liberty Mutual's corporate development program, which took me through rotations in marketing, underwriting, claims and operations over a two-year period.
WHAT SURPRISED ME: I was pleasantly surprised by how dynamic the industry is.
OUTSIDE THE INDUSTRY, A DREAM JOB: Mayor of New York City.
HOBBIES: Travel, keeping fit and spending time with family and friends.
THING MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME: I grew up in California and have worked in six states across the eastern part of the country during my career.
FAVORITE MEAL: Anything my husband makes — he is a fantastic cook!
ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON: You will find me spending time with my twin daughters, who will be in first grade in the fall.
FAVORITE BOOK: Hilary Mantel's Thomas Cromwell trilogy.
CAN'T-MISS TELEVISION SHOW: Would rather be reading a book.
