James holds over a decade of commercial and construction underwriting experience, having most recently served as Midwest construction property manager for Zurich North America, where he implemented underwriting strategies, managed broker and client relationships, and identified product and coverage innovation.
He has also held positions with Everest Insurance, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. and CNA Insurance.
