Westfield Specialty is expanding its roster with a host of new hires for its WestfieldPro team.
The firm said that it was looking to expand its E&O and cyber liability offerings while looking to enter the primary space.
The Pro team will be led by Dan Wadley, executive vice president and head of professional lines. He will be supported by Jeff Kulikowski, executive vice president; vice presidents Dennis O’Connell, Brian McCall, Christine Dickenson; and John Castoro; and assistant vice president Alex Whipple.
The firm has also named Sara Trokan as senior vice president, specialty claims. Her responsibilities include the overall growth, strategic direction and oversight of the cyber, E&O, and professional liability claim teams.
Dan Wadley, EVP of WestfieldPro, said in a statement: “We are thrilled to add Sara to the Westfield Specialty team. With her background and experience, we have confidence that Sara will build out the claims team as well as the vendor support needed to provide superior claim service to our clients and broker partners.”
In addition, Westfield Specialty has added underwriters in New York, Alpharetta and Chicago over the past few months and is expanding to the West Coast to support growing demand for their products and underwriting approach.
Westfield Specialty launched in July 2021 as part of Ohio-based super-regional carrier Westfield, and is led by former Sompo International CUO and global insurance CEO Jack Kuhn.
