found RED, which is a

wholly-owned MGU for State Auto Insurance Company.

Since inception, RED

reinsurance business on

behalf of State Auto. My responsibilities with this

start-up venture have been

multi-faceted and all encompassing and include:

. Overall management of RED's operations

. Nationwide account production

claim management role greatly expanded to

Include the following:

follow-up claim reviews to validate and

measure Program claim results

McNeil TPA handles the claims related to these

programs. This is a

complex and volatile multi-line claim book involving

probably my most challenging assignment from a

technical claim

handling perspective.
