Bridge Specialty Group appoints Todd Wood chief underwriting officer
Wood will oversee underwriting strategy, standards, and quality controls for Bridge’s North American wholesale business, and expand data and AI-enabled underwriting capabilities.
Bridge Specialty Group has appointed Todd Wood as chief underwriting officer for its North American wholesale business, with oversight responsibilities spanning underwriting strategy, standards, and quality controls across the company’s North American operations, Coverager reports.
In the role, Wood will lead initiatives tied to data analytics, third-party data, AI-enabled capabilities, and workflow enhancements, along with underwriting training and talent development.
Coverager notes that Wood joined Bridge Specialty Group in 2023 through its acquisition of New England Excess Exchange, where he had served as president since 2019.
Bridge Specialty Group says Wood brings more than 25 years of specialty insurance experience, including more than two decades in excess and surplus lines, and that Accelerant supports distribution, underwriting capacity, and risk analytics.
