DALLAS, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ – To keep pace
with regional business growth, XL Group is adding more
insurance resources to its Dallas
office with the addition of global risk management, construction
primary casualty and inland marine underwriting
expertise.
According to Wayne Speeg,
Regional Leader for XL Group's South Central region, "The
Texas economy continues to expand
with job growth across a wide range of industries. This
growth means that more companies have more assets –property,
employees, and sales -- that require appropriate insurance
protection and more risk management attention. To help, we
continue to build out a seasoned regional underwriting team that
gives our brokers and clients throughout the Southwest easy and
personal access to some of the best underwriting talent in our
industry."
XL Group's newest insurance underwriters include:
- Kristen Hough who joins
XL Group's Marine underwriting team as senior marine underwriter
for the South Central Region. Ms. Hough helps brokers and clients
