Ategrity launches professional lines practise led by Doug Karpp

Ategrity Specialty Insurance Company, a specialty excess and surplus lines carrier, has launched a Management and Professional Liability business offering products designed for the needs of small- to mid-sized companies.

These offerings are part of Ategrity’s broader evolution, since its inception in 2018, toward covering the middle market.

Since 2022, the company has launched its Middle Market Casualty and Property businesses, building leadership teams and new products aligned with the complexity and scale of middle-market operations.

Spearheading the launch of the new practice is Doug Karpp, who has been appointed Deputy Chief Underwriting Officer.

He is joining Ategrity from Hiscox USA, where he was Senior Vice President responsible for the Specialty Risks unit, including Management Liability, Crime, and Cyber Products.

“Doug’s two decades of underwriting experience, coupled with his intellectual rigor and commercial acumen, make him an exceptional leader for this significant step forward into middle market lines,” says Chris Schenk, Chief Underwriting Officer at Ategrity.

He added: “Throughout our organisation, we are pushing the boundaries of our thinking and harnessing technology to advance excellence across every facet of our offerings.

“This new business investment demonstrates how we are bringing this approach to the middle market, where we are committed to being a leader.”

Commenting on his appointment, Karpp said: “I am excited to be joining this nimble, trailblazing, and customer-focused organisation, where we have the opportunity to offer groundbreaking products and services that will make Ategrity highly competitive in the middle market space.”
