W. R. Berkley Corporation has named Jeanne R. Fenster as President of Berkley Prime Transportation, a newly formed division which will focus on offering primary commercial transportation insurance products across the country, for both standard and preferred risks.
The new unit will utilise analytics and technology to create new methods of providing quality and responsive services to both agents and customers.
Fenster brings nearly 25 years of property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry experience to the role, most recently serving as Senior Vice President (SVP) and Global Head of Commercial Auto and General Liability at a major P&C insurer.
W. Robert Berkley, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of W. R. Berkley, commented: “The establishment of this new division will enable us to expand our footprint in commercial auto at a particularly good time. Jeanne has a wealth of expertise in both transportation insurance and predictive modeling and analytics that will allow us to leverage high-tech solutions to create an “ease of use” brand.
“Additionally, the division’s data and analytic tools will provide opportunities for broad application throughout much of the group that will offer greater value to all stakeholders. We are excited to welcome her to Berkley.”
