Concert Group Holdings has appointed Carol Frey as senior vice president of business development. Based in the US, Frey will report to Concert Insurance Group’s chief underwriting officer Joe Alberti. Frey joins the firm after 10 years at Great American Insurance Group, where she served as vice president of business development and marketing. At Great American, Frey was responsible for new business development for agency, group and association captives. Prior to this, Frey held various executive roles at ACE USA (now Chubb) between 2006 and 2011, including vice president of underwriting and risk management, and vice president of national captive practice leader. She began her career in 1987 at CIGNA P&C, prior to its acquisition by ACE, holding a number of senior positions at the firm until her departure in 2011. Frey is a member of the Vermont Captive Insurance Association — where she has served on various committees and assisted with the development of agency captive legislation for Vermont — and the Captive Insurance Company Association, where she has served on the board of directors and as the market study chair. Commenting on the appointment, Alberti says: “During her 30 years in the property and casualty industry, she’s developed a well-deserved reputation for being a strategic thinker as well as a results-oriented leader and innovator. “Her extensive experience in the captive, as well as alternative risk market sectors, are particularly well aligned with Concert’s next phase of development.”
