BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Marguerite Dixen

Adroit General Agency, a managing general agency providing workers compensation insurance services to employers with high-severity exposures, announced its rollout on Monday.

Established and led by CEO Marguerite Dixen, who has more than 32 years of industry experience, Adroit's leadership includes Matt Skomal managing inside operations, Jennifer Dahmer leading production underwriters and Bill Martin leading SouthEast Underwriting.

Ms. Dixen says Adroit will provide statutory limits on a guaranteed cost basis, primarily serving high-risk clients in construction, transportation, recycling and agriculture, delivering safety, loss prevention and claims management services for employers vulnerable to high-severity losses and their brokers.

Headquartered in Chicago, Adroit is initially offering services to employers in Illinois, Georgia, Indiana and Tennessee and has additional licenses pending in the Midwest and Southeast. The firm also represents Sutton National Insurance.

Robert Petrie, CEO of Origami Risk, will serve as an adviser to Adroit, which will begin operations with an office in Chicago and six experienced professionals, including specialists in brokerage relationship development, workers compensation underwriting and program structure, safety and loss control, claims management and compliance.

“In collaboration with Origami Risk, we’ve developed a breakthrough solution for these employers and their insurance brokers that combines individual account” underwriting with value-added loss control and claims services,” Ms. Dixen said in a statement. “By deploying cutting-edge technology, we’re able to drive safety management, leverage analytics, and streamline reporting and administration.”

Ms. Dixen previously served as president of Third Coast Insurance Co. from 2010 to August 2021. She was also named among Business Insurance’s Women to Watch in 2016.
