Congratulations to three of our team members who are assuming exciting new positions at PLM. As vice president of underwriting, Bill Johnson will lead the ongoing training and development of the current underwriting staff. Candice Prendergast and Sean Briscoe have been promoted to underwriting managers.
You may recognize Mr. Johnson as your go-to guy for coverage questions and large account support for years at PLM. During this time, he has mentored and coached the underwriting staff while managing his own team of underwriters.
In his new role, Mr. Johnson will now hold frequent training classes on emerging issues, updated positions and more. This will allow him to officially support the development needs of the company. Plus, he will support the broader team on large accounts, both new and renewal, in quote preparation and delivery.
As underwriting manager, Ms. Prendergast will assume management responsibilities for Johnson’s team immediately. Prior to this role, she served as a senior underwriter for PLM for nearly five years, specializing in heavy manufacturing.
In his new role as underwriting manager, Mr. Briscoe will provide leadership, identify and develop business process mapping, implement policies and procedures for existing and new business processes and handle benchmarking and reinsurance evaluations. He previously served as senior underwriter for PLM.
Our people are our greatest resource at PLM, which is why we’re committed to developing our team and promoting from within.
