Crum & Forster appoints Srygley and Kaplan to lead captive solutions initiative

Crum & Forster’s accident and health (A&H) division has appointed longtime insurance industry leader Mark Srygley to help drive its efforts within its captive solutions and sharing (Gig) economy practices.

Srygley has been at Crum & Forster for more than 20 years, most recently serving as senior vice president, underwriting and business development.

He has played a key role in the creation of custom insurance solutions for large and complex clients in non-traditional industries and working with underwriting and development teams to craft solutions and products that meet the challenges of micro and small business clients, among others.

A&H vice president David Kaplan will lead the initiative with Srygley.

Crum & Forster captive solutions team is working to develop and implement strategies in situations where currently available industry products or structures have proven difficult to place, ensuring Crum & Forster can provide specialised coverage for unusual or hard-to-insure risks.

These new offerings can include both standard lines of business for both A&H and property and casualty (P&C) and extend to all other lines.

Commenting on Srygley appointment, Kaplan, says: “Mark Srygley brings with him a wealth of underwriting experience, knowledge and product acumen across many property and casualty lines, as well as a deep understanding of insurance analytics.”

He adds: “We — and importantly, our clients — look forward to his guidance as we drive our dual, integrated strategy to expand both the sharing economy and captive practices.”

Srygley notes: “We have a tremendous opportunity here to offer the market new, innovative products and solutions that can fit a multitude of needs for our clients – both in the A&H and P&C space.”

“David Kaplan and I are looking forward to working with this outstanding team of client-focused professionals, all of whom have a single purpose — to provide our clients with the stellar service and offerings they've come to expect from C&F," Srygley concludes.
