Brit Hires Stepanishen to Lead U.S. Inland Marine Team in New York

Brit Ltd, a global specialty insurer and reinsurer based in London, hired Kent Stepanishen as senior vice president to launch a new Inland Marine team for Brit Global Specialty USA.

Stepanishen will write Inland Marine targeting, builder’s risk, contractors’ equipment and associated property risks through wholesale brokers. Brit said the move expands Brit Global Speciality USA’s existing E&S property offering and is part of the company’s strategy to focus on growing profitably in specialist areas where it can leverage its expertise and service.

Stepanishen comes to Brit from Catlin, where he held the position of director of U.S. Inland Marine. He will be based in Brit’s New York office and report to Noreen Metcalfe who runs Brit’s Property business in the U.S.
