Meet-Our-Expert-Team.gif

The BerkleyMed Team includes specialists from all facets of the insurance industry.  Whether it is a claims question, program structure issue, or clinical risk management concern, we are a resource for our brokers and their clients.  Our teams are available to provide input and support when needed.

Sales and Managing Directors
Managing Directors are responsible for client services and managing broker relationships within a specific territory.  They work closely with the internal departments of Claims, Clinical Risk Management, Data Services, and Underwriting & Policy Issuance as part of BerkleyMed's multidisciplinary approach.  This approach helps to provide solutions, promote coordination of services, and identify potential areas for improvement within the client's risk profile or insurance program, for which we can collectively work to resolve.
