Ryan Specialty introduces national programs practice group

Ryan Specialty LLC said Tuesday it launched Ryan Specialty National Programs, a practice group focused on specialty, class-specific package business on an admitted and non-admitted basis.

Shawn Yingling will be CEO of Ryan Specialty National Programs. Mr. Yingling was hired last year from American International Group Inc. as chief retail distribution officer of Ryan Specialty Underwriting Managers, its specialty underwriting unit.

Ryan Specialty National Programs will combine various businesses within Ryan Specialty Underwriting Managers, including Irwin Siegel Agency, an MGU focused on human and social service organizations; Suitelife Underwriting Managers, an MGU for hotels, hotel management companies and resorts; and existing property, casualty and workers compensation national programs that Ryan Specialty acquired in the 2020 All Risks Ltd. transaction.
