Privately held specialty commercial lines carrier PrimeOne has appointed Darrin Hinman to serve as its Chief Underwriting Officer from August 1.
Hinman joins from Swiss Re, where he served as Vice President of Actuary and Senior Treaty Underwriter since July 2011.
He also spent time as pricing actuary on the global casualty broker team with a large focus on commercial umbrella, commercial general liability, and professional lines insurance.
Based in Southern California, he will report to David Thorson, Chief Executive Officer for PrimeOne.
Hinman will lead the underwriting growth strategy and execution for PrimeOne’s specialty risk lines, including commercial property, general liability, and liquor liability insurance products.
“Darrin Hinman brings years of industry knowledge and experience from his time at Swiss Re,” said Thorson,
“His ability to analyze information and determine trends will not only prove critical in our ability to grow but establish ourselves as a reputable brand in the marketplace.
“We are very happy to welcome him to the company and expect him to be a phenomenal addition to the PrimeOne team.”
