QBE International Markets plans to launch a US Inland Marine service by 2025, across all 50 states. It is expanding its specialty product suite with the hiring of a new team.
The team and product will be added to QBE International Market’s Houston, Texas-based Ocean Marine and Energy divisions, led by Kristina Bush.
Industry veteran Sharon Primerano has been appointed as VP US Inland Marine Manager for QBE International Markets. She is joined by Tiffany Lewis as VP Marine and by Max Dambach as Underwriter. Prior to QBE, they worked at AIG.
Sean Dollahon, VP, US Marine Manager for QBE’s International Markets said that “we are pleased to announce the new QBE Inland Marine offering in the US, expanding upon our existing marine and energy portfolios”.
He said that “the new suite of Inland Marine products, available by January 2025, seeks to complement our growing marine proposition and means we will be delivering a broad set of solutions to meet the needs of our clients and brokers.”
All three joined QBE International Markets in late September 2024. Dollahon is based in New York, while Lewis and Dambach are based in Houston.
