“We will continue to strengthen our service proposition and customer experience as a key differentiator, as we build on the momentum we have achieved to date across multiple business lines and territories,” says McLean. “Our im is to continue to grow our market relevance and strengthen our partnerships with our strategic brokers as we expand our leadership position in key sectors.
“We will also continue to invest in talent. We are committed to drawing from the broadest pools of talent, and to creating an environment that attracts and retains stellar employees. We recognise the importance of building teams that are diverse, collaborative, and innovative and are dedicated to cultivating a supportive and inclusive workplace culture in which all our employees can thrive.”
Arch’s EVP, P&C Programs, Paul Sullivan, embraces the spirit and mindset of Pursuing Better as a leader in the organization. “His job is not simply to make all of the important decisions. He digs in alongside his team, fostering a culture where good decisions get made through a mindset and process of constant improvement,” says Brian Farrell, SVP, programs.
Arch encourages its leaders to continually engage in open communication and listen to feedback, ensuring they’re always open to new ideas and empowered to make important decisions. One example of an essential Arch leader is EVP of the professional liability and cyber division, Marilyn Marshall.
“Besides being extremely talented, Marilyn is an authentic leader and great communicator who helps prioritize activities, fosters creativity, and sets clear expectations,” says Rizzo.
In addition to emphasizing its powerful values and positive leadership, Arch distinguishes itself in the insurance industry by focusing on transparency and collaboration.
“We listen to the voice of the customer to better understand their needs and provide solutions,” says Rizzo. “We follow through on our promises by doing what we commit to doing. This has helped us build relationships but, more importantly, trust.”
Arch stands out in the industry because of its commitment to its partners.
“The average length of our relationship with our program partners is well over 10 years because we’ve been able to build and maintain relationships through effective communication, collaboration, and preparation for whatever the market throws at us,” says Seth St. Amand, VP, program manager.
Their partners value their growth-oriented mindset and their ability to respond to evolving risks and exposures with unique solutions.
Recently, the company has been relying on predictive analytics to optimize business strategies and help themselves and their MGA partners leverage data to make better choices and decisions.
When dealing with Arch, clients can expect to benefit from the company’s vast industry knowledge.
“Arch aspires to be the very best program group in the industry,” says Rizzo. “We are committed to making a difference by developing and launching well-designed programs.”
