Pen Underwriting has promoted Michelle Bree to Chief Operating Officer (COO) and has announced that she will also join the Board of Pen Underwriting Limited, effective December 1st, 2019.
Bree joined the firm in 2015 from Accenture as a programme manager, where she had a specialist focus on change-management in the insurance industry and completed a series of complex project delivery roles.
Most recently, she was appointed Director of Operations at Pen in July 2018, which saw her become part of the Executive leadership team.
In her new role, she will be responsible for ensuring the firm has the operational capabilities in place to deliver its business strategy, plan and growth ambitions as a Virtual Insurer.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Pen, Jonathan Turner, commented: “Michelle joined us at the beginning of Pen Underwriting’s journey to transform itself from multiple specialist MGAs into one cohesive, multi-class, multi-territory virtual insurer and no one has been as wholly focused and integral to successfully executing that programme of change and integration as she has.
“Michelle’s strategic vision, track record in translating operational objectives into actionable plans and ability to lead teams to deliver complex and large-scale projects is second to none. I’m confident Michelle will make an excellent COO as well as being a valuable addition to the board.”
