New York based Navigators Group, Inc. has appointed Reina Gregorio as president of professional liability.

The specialty insurance holding company said the action was part of an initiative to expand and strengthen its professional liability division and that Ms. Gregorio would be joined by a underwriting team consisting of Chris Alfieri and Nelson Arache in New York, and Marcia Blanco and Ursula Williams in San Francisco.

Ms. Gregorio will be based in the Company's New York City office and report to Chris Duca, president of Navigators Pro, which underwrites professional and management liability on behalf of Navigators Insurance Company, Navigators Specialty Insurance Company and Navigators Syndicate 1221 at Lloyd's.

“Demand for Navigators' innovative professional liability insurance solutions has increased due to a recent flight to quality for stronger financial security,” said a statement from Mr. Duca. “We are committed to excellent service for our E&O [errors and omissions] policyholders and insurance brokers. Reina and the team are an exceptional strategic fit.”

The company said Ms. Gregorio most recently ran the domestic professional liability business of XL Insurance and has 27 years of insurance experience.
