Aspen Specialty To Expand Into Georgia & Arizona With The Addition Of Two New Underwriting Officers
"Janet and Glen each have over twenty-five years of progressive underwriting and management experience," said Peter Coghlan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Aspen Specialty. "We are thrilled to announce the addition of such expertise to the Aspen team. I am confident in their ability to expand the geographic reach of Aspen Specialty's business while maintaining excellence in underwriting."
Ms. Lovell will be based in Atlanta, GA. Most recently, she served as Excess and Surplus Underwriting Manager at General Electric Insurance. Prior to that, Ms. Lovell was the Atlanta Branch Manager with The Hartford/ First State Management Company, where she first worked with Peter Coghlan and Chris Maciejewski, Executive Vice President, Aspen Specialty.
Mr. Plagmann will be based in Scottsdale, AZ. Prior to joining Aspen Specialty, Mr. Plagmann held the position, Director of Specialty Property, Colony Insurance Company. Previously Mr. Plagmann spent over ten years with Scottsdale Insurance Company where he started the company's Brokerage Property division in 1986.
"Aspen Specialty plans to be a leader in the surplus arena and opening offices in Georgia and Arizona are key steps toward achieving our goal," said Mr. Coghlan. "Georgia has a very robust surplus lines market and we will better serve the southeast region with a local office. Arizona is also a strategic base as it will open a path to the western states."
Aspen Specialty, with its headquarters in Boston, MA, currently writes a focused book of property and casualty surplus lines business, through the U.S. wholesale surplus lines broker network.
