ICW Group, a national insurance carrier providing specialised risk and coverage solutions, has expanded its ICW Specialty business unit with the introduction of Alternative Risk Transfer (ART) solutions and the appointment of Travis Murnan as Head of Alternative Risk Transfer, based in Atlanta, Georgia.
The move is part of ICW Group’s broader growth strategy, highlighting the company’s focus on diversifying its offerings while delivering innovative solutions for complex customer needs. ART is expected to launch later this year under ICW Specialty, which was established in 2025 to provide support for Excess and Surplus products along with other coverage options.
Murnan joins ICW Group to lead the development of the ART capability, applying advanced data, analytics, and actuarial modelling to create durable, long-term risk solutions.
“Travis brings a rare depth of expertise across data, analytics, and actuarial science, paired with the strategic mindset required to translate insights into durable solutions, and I could not be more excited to welcome Travis to our team,” commented Tracey Estes, Chief Underwriting Officer, ICW Specialty.
“His technical rigor, intellectual curiosity, and ability to see around corners make him the ideal leader to design, build, and steward a long-term, sustainable business. Just as importantly, Travis leads with integrity and humility, both qualities that matter deeply as we continue to build a people-first, forward-thinking organisation.”
Murnan has nearly 15 years of experience in the insurance industry, including roles in actuarial pricing, captive, and alternative risk consulting.
Over the past decade, he led the analytics practice at Lockton, most recently as Senior Vice President, Analytics Practice Leader. A credentialed actuary, he is recognised for combining technical expertise with a client-focused approach. Murnan earned his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from the University of the Ozarks.
“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to build and lead the Alternative Risk Transfer capability as ICW Group continues to expand the breadth and sophistication of its ICW Specialty business unit,” Murnan added.
“I’m energised by the opportunity to bring data-driven, innovative solutions to market alongside a talented, collaborative team. This role represents not only an exciting next chapter for me, but a chance to help shape the future of the company and how it partners with clients and brokers to manage risk.”
