RSUM promotes Quinn to president

By Chris Munro

Feb 24 - (The Insurer) - Ryan Specialty Underwriting Managers (RSUM) has appointed Eric Quinn as president, with the executive assuming the role from Miles Wuller, who now serves the business in the sole position of CEO.

Quinn joined RSUM following Ryan Specialty’s acquisition of All Risks in 2020.

Since then, Quinn has served in a variety of capital and program management leadership roles. Most recently, Quinn was appointed executive vice president – capital and product strategy last year.

Quinn’s entire career, which began 16 years ago when he joined All Risks, has been spent within delegated authority underwriting and leadership.

“Eric has been an exceptional partner and practitioner in our four-plus years working together,” said Wuller.

“He brings a rare combination of underwriting, distribution, product and capital management that drive RSUM’s differentiated results.

“I’m pleased to see him assume the president role in acknowledgement of his exceptional stewardship and execution of RSUM’s mission. Having Eric as president will enable us to further deliver on the global delegated underwriting opportunity in front of us today,” Wuller added.

Quinn’s move up to the president role is the latest senior appointment at RSUM.

On Monday, RSUM confirmed the hire of Mark Engel as CEO of its marine and energy practice. That newly created position gives Engel oversight of the seven marine and energy MGUs within RSUM.

Confirmation of his arrival comes after Program Manager last week exclusively reported that Engel had left HW Kaufman Group-owned MGA RB Jones after more than five years.

Late last year, RSUM brought in Shawn Yingling from AIG as chief retail distribution officer. Earlier in December, George Pearce and Rich Stansfield were promoted to global co-CEOs of Ryan Transactional Risk, while James Montgomery was named CEO of RSUM International.
