For nearly 20 years, The D&O Diary has brought you timely articles discussing important topics from the world of corporate directors’ and officers’ liability and insurance. After nearly two decades, the time for a change has come. The D&O Diary is proud to announce the first-time ever appointment of a blog Co-Author. The new Co-Author — Sarah Abrams — has in fact been a frequent guest contributor to this site. Going forward, you will see articles from Sarah written as Co-Author appearing on this site on a regular basis.
You have questions. We have answers. Here are the FAQs. Please feel free to contact us if you have further questions.
Who is Sarah?: Sarah is an Executive Vice President at RT ProExec – The OakBridge Team. She has many years of experience in the professional liability insurance industry. Sarah began her career as a coverage attorney in Chicago, representing insurers, reinsurers, and policyholders in professional liability claim disputes and insurance coverage litigation. More recently, Sarah has worked in insurer claims operations, serving in senior leadership roles in professional liability and management liability claims operations, including serving as a Head of Claims at Baleen Specialty, a division of Bowhead Specialty, and Head of Professional Liability Claims at Bowhead Specialty. She was also a Director of Management Liability Claims at Markel. For her full biography, please refer here (second item).
Why is The D&O Diary appointing a Co-Author now?: It is not just that after nearly 20 years it is time to bring in some new blood. It is also because facts are facts, and the fact is that in September, Kevin will turn 70 years old. If the blog isn’t going to just blinker out into darkness at some point, provisions for the future have to be made now.
What will Change?: At first, most readers will notice few changes. Inevitably, with the passage of time, some things (as yet to be determined) may change, largely as a result of readers’ needs and interests. But, for now at least, The D&O Diary should remain basically the same publication as it has been all along.
