Tokio Marine HCC (TMHCC), a Houston, Texas-headquartered specialty insurance company, has announced the appointment of Megann Pfeffer as President of its Public Risk Group, with the role taking effect immediately, reporting to Matt Overlan, Chief Executive Officer of Tokio Marine HCC – Specialty Group.
Pfeffer joined the organisation in 2022 as Chief Operating Officer of the Public Risk Group. Since then, she has overseen the division’s operational performance and financial results while leading initiatives across underwriting, technology, analytics and product development.
She has more than 25 years of experience in the specialty insurance market, having held senior positions covering executive leadership, underwriting, operations, actuarial science and corporate strategy.
Pfeffer will now oversee the overall management and long-term strategy of the Public Risk Group, which provides insurance products for public sector organisations, including municipalities and special districts.
The company said her priorities in the new position will include supporting sustainable profitable growth, strengthening the group’s specialist market presence, broadening its product capabilities and continuing to deliver value for policyholders, distribution partners and employees.
Overlan commented: “Megann is the ideal candidate to take our public risk offering to the next level. At a time when communities are under increasing pressure from litigation, harsher weather and tighter budgets, she brings an understanding of the sector that is second to none. Since Megann joined us in 2022, she has earned the trust of colleagues, customers and partners through her exceptional work. I have no doubt that Public Risk will go from strength to strength with her as President.”
Pfeffer added: “I’m proud of what the TMHCC team has built over the past few years, and I’m excited about where we can take it next. We have the right people and the right focus to help public entities navigate a market that keeps getting more complex, and I’m looking forward to leading that work as President.”
