Specialty carrier Relm Insurance said it has launched a managing general agent licensed in all 50 states.
Relm also said Keith Lavigne has joined as head of underwriting – US. He will report to Relm CEO and founder Joseph Ziolowski.
“Operating our MGA in the U.S. enhances our ability to deepen and broaden our relationships with clients and brokers across the US insurance ecosystem,” said Ziolkowski. “With Keith at the helm, our underwriting framework in emerging sectors has become even stronger. His proven expertise will enhance our technical and operational underwriting capabilities as we continue to make innovation resilient for our clients.”
