Concert nabs Great American vet for growth, eyes captives & alt-risk

US-based fronting and insurance start-up  Concert has hired a new leader for business development, having mined a ten-year veteran of Great American with a possible eye for next phase growth into captives and alternative risk.

Carol Frey (pictured) joins Concert as senior vice president for business development to match a post she last held during her ten-year stay at Great American Insurance Group, leading the Great American charge on agency, group and association captives.

Ms. Frey comes to Concert after 10 years with Great American Insurance Group where she served as Vice President, Business Development & Marketing. At Great American, she was responsible for new business development for agency, group and association captives.

Prior to that stint, Frey had been five years at Chubb (then ACE), including as vice president for underwriting and risk management and national captive practice leader. She began her career in 1987 at Cigna P& C prior to its acquisition by ACE.

Chief underwriting officer Joe Alberti commented: “I’m delighted to welcome Carol to the Concert team. During her 30 years in the property and casualty industry, she’s developed a well-deserved reputation for being a strategic thinker as well as a results-oriented leader and innovator. Her extensive experience in the captive as well as alternative risk market sectors are particularly well aligned with Concert's next phase of development.”
