Pioneer expands its Miscellaneous E&O Division with two new appointments
Pioneer Underwriters (‘Pioneer’) is pleased to announce the immediate appointments of Milan Devetak as Senior Underwriter and Andrew Nowlan as Underwriter in the Miscellaneous E&O, Technology & Cyber division of its US underwriting platform, Pioneer Special Risk (PSR). Milan and Andrew will be based in Exton, PA and will report directly to David Lucey, Vice President of Miscellaneous E&O for PSR.
Milan brings just under two decades of industry experience to Pioneer. He was previously at XL Catlin as a Senior Underwriter for Management Liability where he was responsible for managing, maintaining and servicing a profitable book of business for the east coast region. Milan began his insurance career with ACE USA, where he was a Products and Premises Liability Claims Adjuster.
Andrew brings a decade of underwriting experience to Pioneer. Most recently, at United States Liability Insurance Group, Andrew was a Professional Lines Underwriter. In that role, Andrew was responsible for clients in the Western United States, where he achieved account growth by cultivating relationships and finding new sale opportunities by raising customer and regional awareness.
David Lucey commented: “I’m thrilled to welcome both Milan and Andrew to Pioneer and look forward to working with them as we expand our Miscellaneous E&O division. We see enormous opportunity in this niche segment of the market where we will continue to deliver technical underwriting expertise to our broker partners on behalf of their clients. Milan and Andrew both have proven underwriting track records and will play an important role in strengthening our proposition as PSR continues to grow its presence in the US.”
