David Friedly will run underwriting for the unit, and Glenn Funk will be the chief actuary.
Friedly was the head of employer underwriting for the AIG Benefit Solutions unit.
Funk was the chief actuary at Medical Excess from 2002 through 2011, and an actuary at AIG Benefit Solutions from 2011 through 2013. While at AIG Benefit Solutions, Funk handled the transplant carve out product line as well as medical stop-loss.
Berkshire Hathaway — Warren Buffett’s holding company — started the specialty insurance unit and hired Peter Eastwood, a former AIG Americas region president, to run the unit three years ago.
