"West Oak’s success has come from always putting our clients’ best interests first and always finding ways to improve and add more value to them"

“I believe one of the biggest challenges for women in insurance is trying to juggle competing priorities with opportunities for career progression on one side and family health and wellbeing on the other,” says Marilyn D Marshall. “I am optimistic that the silver lining from the COVID pandemic is that the more flexible work hours and location of work will enable more women in insurance to progress in their careers with a much lower level of stress and guilt and personal sacrifice.”
Marshall is the executive vice president of the professional liability (PL) division of Arch Insurance in the US, a position she has held since December 2020. This division underwrites errors and omissions (E&O) liability insurance for non-medical, non-financial firms as well as network security and privacy liability insurance.
“As a manager of underwriting teams in D&O and E&O, I had experience developing and rolling out new products, meaningfully expanding books of business, hiring new talent and driving profitability improvement,” says Marilyn.
“In addition to underwriting, I have had responsibility for operational aspects of the business such as working with IT on system design and implementation, vendor onboarding, workflow improvement efforts, policy form drafting, contract negotiation, rate plan development.”
Arch’s PL team writes business on both an open brokerage and a delegated authority basis. Marshall’s primary responsibilities include strategy development and implementation, staff and portfolio management, quote authorization, financial budgeting and monthly reporting. Additionally, she is a member of two of Arch’s employee networks: Black Professionals and Allies, and Women and Allies.
Immediately prior to joining Arch’s PL team as the head of professional liability programs in 2018, Marilyn was an SVP in the business process management (BPM) office of Arch, where she led the open brokerage segment.
Prior to joining the BPM team, Marilyn held various senior management positions in Arch’s executive assurance division, including heading the alternative asset protection, financial institutions and growth and middle market underwriting units and was responsible for all operational aspects of the division, including product development, IT initiatives, underwriting tools, and the administrative team.
Before Arch, Marshall spent over 10 years working for The Hartford. The majority of the time was spent in their Hartford Financial Products unit underwriting management liability insurance for public and private emerging growth companies, venture capital and private equity firms. Additional experiences at The Hartford included rotations in the corporate finance department and the investment products division of Hartford Life as part of their MBA rotational program.
“My first rotation was spent reporting to the chief accounting officer with responsibility for production of the company's annual strategic and operating plans, quarterly competitive analysis reports and board material prep for the company CEO as well as researching and presenting a report on consumer trends directly to then corporate chairman CEO for The Hartford,” she says.
Marilyn also previously worked as an insurance broker for Marsh and as an underwriter and manager for Reliance National.
She earned an MBA in Finance from New York University and Bachelor of Arts from Boston College.
She says: “I have an exceptionally strong academic foundation and through assuming different positions during my career have developed a broad skill set and sound understanding of the different lines of business and functional areas of an insurance company.”
