Brace Underwriting has appointed Glenn Dorr to be its new head of distribution for North America.
It is thought that Dorr will be stepping into his new role from the beginning of the month. In doing so, he will be reporting to Adam Holberry, co-founder and CUO.
According to the company, he will play an integral role in Brace’s growth by identifying strategic areas of opportunity and business development within the MGA market. He will also oversee a network of broker relationships and cultivating new partnerships.
In an accompanying statement, Holberry said: “We are delighted to welcome Glenn to the Brace team. He brings extensive knowledge of the North American MGA market and joins Brace at an exciting phase of our development.”
He added: “Glenn’s ability to source and build long-term underwriting partnerships will be invaluable as we look to expand our North American footprint and his appointment is a great reflection upon Brace’s ability and commitment to attracting market leading talent in the global facilities market.”
Dorr joins Brace Underwriting from his current role at Hiscox where he was head of broker relations for the North American market from 2017. Before that, he was regional director for the North-eastern US at Lloyd’s, which itself followed seven years at HCC Specialty.
