Brooks Insurance, a nationally recognised wholesale insurance brokerage, has announced the appointment of Tiffani Ann Garabedian as senior vice president of underwriting, effective immediately.
Garabedian will play a key role in strengthening the firm’s underwriting capabilities and expanding its program business offerings, according to the Coverager.
Brooks Insurance is a subsidiary of Venbrook Group, one of the fastest-growing independently owned insurance brokerage, claims, and risk management consulting firms in the US.
The company provides wholesale insurance brokerage services, focusing on both standard markets and complex lines of business.
Garabedian brings nearly two decades of experience in the insurance industry, having spent 12 years building excess casualty programs at AmTrust, Ironshore, and Everest.
She has worked with leading insurance carriers, including ACE/Chubb, AIG, AXA/XL Catlin, Ironshore/Liberty, and Everest. Most recently, she served as a territory manager for the Northeast region at Nationwide.
In her new role at Brooks Insurance, Garabedian will collaborate with managing director David Rosen to develop program business offerings and enhance underwriting capabilities. She is recognised as an industry leader in agribusiness, food and beverage, and tough product manufacturing, including food processing and restaurants with liquor exposure.
Speaking on her appointment, Garabedian said, “I look forward to bringing my expertise and passion for underwriting to Brooks Insurance. The company’s entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to excellence greatly align with my professional values, and I am excited to help develop new programs and specialty offerings that will benefit our clients.”
Rosen highlighted Garabedian’s significance to the team, stating, “Tiffani is a key hire for us. She joins Brooks Insurance with a reputable tenure in the insurance industry and a wealth of knowledge on the underwriting side of the business. This new position fills a void at the company and will allow us to expand our underwriting capabilities across multiple divisions. She is the right person for the job, and we are thrilled to have her.”
Venbrook Group CEO and founder Jason D. Turner also welcomed Garabedian, adding, “David and his team have been growing this division for a while now. Bringing Tiffani on board allows us to grow further and build unique programs in the space, a great benefit for our clients. I’m happy to welcome her to the team.”
