special lines classes focusing on North American commercial property
business both on an open market and delegated authority basis. This
involved risk selection, survey assessment, catastrophe modelling,
pricing and quoting of individual risks and binding authorities.

catastrophe driven large commercial property accounts. This involved
underwriting of individual risks and extensive marketing efforts.

storage, vacant buildings, restaurants, printing risks, car
manufacturing, mining, and metals.

forming an opinion about a risk. This included assessing the likely
frequency, origin and severity of losses that may occur.

methods to assess and price various catastrophe perils including
windstorm, storm surge, earthquake, tornado, flood, freeze and hail.
. Planned an overall underwriting strategy based on current and
potential future market conditions. This included a plan for the
market turn following a big loss.
. Liaised extensively with claims staff and lawyers on the coverage,
development and potential subrogation of losses.

exposure and plan an underwriting strategy on a portfolio basis. This
involved balancing individual risk assessment with how the catastrophe
exposure would fit in at a portfolio level.
