Our Vice President of Underwriting, Chris Zanchelli, talks about the evolution of Management Liability insurance he has witnessed in his 13+ years with Berkley Select along with some new product launches as we continue to celebrate our 30th year milestone anniversary.
“I never planned for a career in insurance, but after experiencing how the industry successfully navigated 9/11 and the 2007 Financial Crisis, I’ve come to appreciate the security a career in this industry affords. We can see this as well in the wake of the pandemic – these are serious shocks that left other industries decimated, but insurance is resilient since it’s such a crucial need in the world.“
“Black History Month reminds me of the beauty of being a Black woman and the diversity of our people and culture. It is a reminder that the level of reverence shown during this month is something that needs to be consistent the entire year. It’s a call to action to continue to advocate for and uplift those within society that are often marginalized”
“Berkley Select is a well-known and respected insurance carrier for as long as I have been a part of this industry. I have been fortunate to grow in my career and find many opportunities in professional liability insurance. I hope to apply my experience in Program Management to help grow our current programs and leverage the relationships I have forged over the years to drive new opportunities.”
Berkley Select began operations in June 1992 as Monitor Liability Managers with just a few employees offering directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Since then, the business has grown to over 100 employees while servicing partners nationwide from its home office in Chicago.
