Conventus Inter-Insurance Exchange has hired Brian Kriger as its next president, effective Jan. 1, 2026. He will succeed current president Amy Berezein following a planned transition period to ensure continuity of service for Conventus’ physician members, brokers and partners.

Kriger brings more than two decades of medical professional liability experience. He most recently served as vice president of underwriting at EmPRO Insurance, where he led the insurer’s Northeast expansion and established its New Jersey office. Before that, he spent 17 years at MDAdvantage in roles spanning underwriting, operations, policyholder services and rate/form management.

“Brian’s deep technical expertise, broker relationships and operational discipline are exactly what we need to support our physician members in an evolving healthcare landscape,” Berezein said. “It has been my privilege to serve Conventus and our members, and I am confident Brian shares our commitment to service, integrity and long-term relationships.”

According to Conventus, Kriger is known for disciplined risk selection, data-driven pricing and collaborative broker engagement — strengths that will help Conventus build on its market position.

“I am honored to join Conventus, an organization that uniquely understands and serves New Jersey physicians,” Kriger said. “Our physician-owned structure means every decision is made with members’ best interests at heart. I look forward to working closely with our team, brokers, and partners to deliver exceptional protection and service.”
