CNA Financial Corporation has launched Cardinal E&S, a new brand dedicated to the excess and surplus (E&S) market, offering specialised insurance solutions tailored to brokers handling complex, hard-to-place risks.
According to CNA, Cardinal E&S will partner with wholesale brokers through its dedicated, specialised underwriting teams focused on casualty, property, healthcare and financial lines. CNA explained that the new brand operates under the strategic guidance of its Global Underwriting Presidents.
CNA said, “Under their leadership, Cardinal E&S is powered by specialised, dedicated teams for each business line.
“These wholesale teams are led by five leaders: Erika Palass, Casualty; Robert Martin, Property; Jessica Landau, Healthcare; Christopher Clementi, Financial Lines; and Mary Rimbey, National Distribution.”
Doug Worman, President and CEO of CNA, commented, “Over the past several years, CNA has built a strong presence and a successful track record in the E&S space, and the launch of Cardinal E&S reflects our continued investment in and commitment to the wholesale distribution channel.
“CNA has an established reputation as a trusted carrier in the E&S space, and the dedicated brand of Cardinal E&S marks a significant evolution in how we continue to serve the dynamic wholesale market.”
