Within healthcare professional liability, senior vice president and chief marketing officer Jeffrey L. Bowlby as well as Darryl K. Thomas, chief claims officer, will continue to lead healthcare professional sales and marketing as well as claims, respectively. PICA, ProAssurance’s podiatric and chiropractic insurance subsidiary, will continue to operate under the leadership of its president and chief medical officer, Ross E. Taubman, DPM, and Karen M. Murphy will continue to lead Medmarc, ProAssurance’s product liability subsidiary, serving the life sciences and medical device industry, as executive vice president. All will report directly to Boguski.

“ProAssurance is a recognized leader in the Specialty P&C insurance business as a result of the committed leadership of our executives, and the disciplined execution of the company business plan by our dedicated employees,” said Edward L. Rand, Jr., ProAssurance’s president and chief operating officer. “I am confident that the executive team Mike has assembled will enhance the level of superior service we deliver to our distribution partners and policyholders as we fulfill our brand promise of Treated Fairly.”
