Markel Insurance, the insurance arm of Markel Group Inc., has announced the appointment of Joanna Quigan as Senior Underwriter, Professional and Financial Risks (PFR).
Based in Melbourne, Quigan will report to Kym Beazleigh, Head of Professional and Financial Risks.
In her new role, she will be responsible for developing and managing underwriting strategies for both renewing and new business within Markel’s PFR portfolio in Australia, with a particular focus on Professional Indemnity.
