Sue Srinivasan is a creative, solution-oriented executive with a professional career in insurance that spans two decades beginning as a reinsurance treaty underwriter, evolving to carrier liaison, and rising to a senior level with an insurance carrier.
Sue is the executive vice president, distribution at Arch Insurance Group, a position she has held since 2020. In this role, she leads Arch Insurance’s distribution strategy and manages broker engagement. She directly manages the regional and national distribution teams, which are responsible for developing and managing broker relationships, aligning corporate strategy, developing initiatives to support business units, and supporting relationships with internal and external stakeholders. Previously, she served as senior vice president of retail strategy and marketing.
Her considerable experience enables her to face challenges head on. “We recently implemented a new initiative to deliver more efficient and effective services and solutions to both our external and internal customers,” she says. “We developed individual broker engagement plans that closely align with both the broker and Arch business priorities. Because of my professional background as a broker, I was able to direct the team to develop a more robust and efficient engagement model with our external partners. My consultative feedback, insight and lived experience were instrumental to the overall framework. My perspectives as a broker were instrumental to building this tailored approach.
“We also worked directly with Arch’s retail business leaders to identify their priorities and developed a structured approach to meet their goals. By leveraging my underwriting background as well, I could bridge the gap between distribution strategy and underwriting as I’ve lived in both worlds. Understanding the brokers’ and underwriters’ perspectives enabled us to develop effective distribution plans in support of Arch’s underwriting goals.”
Earlier in her career, Sue spent nearly 15 years in a number of different roles at Marsh USA. Immediately prior to joining Arch, she served as the managing director of the Insurer Consulting Group managing US trading relationships for a book of insurers that participate in Marsh’s insurer consulting platform.
Sue also previously worked as a casualty treaty underwriter for XL Group, consultant for BTS, and treaty underwriter for Odyssey Re.
What’s more, Sue is passionate about promoting diversity and inclusion, as well as mentoring and developing young talent, in the insurance industry. She is a member of the Association of Professional Insurance Women and The Bridge.
“My perspective as a woman of color in leadership and in a business-facing role distinguishes me significantly from my peers,” she says. “Additionally, my analytical background, underwriting and broker experiences provide me a unique intersection of talent and expertise that sets me apart. Because of who I am and what I’ve achieved over the course of my professional journey, my ideas and solutions are broader in scale. I solve problems differently, and my ideas and insights are distinct from others at the table. This has been invaluable as the industry is changing as well. Our partners and stakeholders are becoming more diverse in all areas of the business.”
In addition, she hopes that seeing a woman of color in a leadership role within the insurance industry will inspire up-and-coming talent. She also prizes mentorship and advocates for sponsorship to help empower more people like her and ultimately help foster diversity of thought.
Sue was named one of Insurance Business America’s Elite Women in 2021. She has a BA in history of art from Johns Hopkins University and an MBA from St. John’s University.
