Easley began his career as a Management Liability Underwriter at AIG, where he gained experience working with private, nonprofit, and public companies developing a strong foundation in specialty underwriting. He later advanced into leadership roles at CNA and USLI, where he guided underwriting teams, developed new products, and contributed to innovation in the Management Liability and Tech E&O/Cyber spaces. Most recently, Easley served as Vice President and Senior Underwriter at USLI, following the integration of Devon Park Specialty, where he played a pivotal role in building its Private Company Management Liability and Excess Professional products.

Embroker Chief Insurance Officer, Andy Lea, is looking forward to making a veteran addition to lead his innovative underwriting team.

I’m eager to bring my experience to the table to continue growing and strengthening our tech-driven underwriting approach to better serve our customers.”

This appointment follows a series of strategic moves for Embroker as the company continues to expand and uplevel its insurance offerings and invest in top industry talent to drive innovation, deliver optimal solutions that meet its customers where they are, and advance the customer experience.
