Meet Ashley Fredricksen, our Assistant Vice President of Underwriting for Lawyers Professional Liability (LPL). We sat down with Ashley to discuss her impressive career trajectory in LPL in addition to learning more about Berkley Select’s recently launched Lawyers Middle Market sector.
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.”
