Falcon Risk Services, an HDI Company, has further strengthened its senior business leadership with the hiring of Chris Sterger as Senior Vice President - Southeast Regional Leader and Andrew Nowlan as Vice President, Design & Build.   

Chris Sterger brings over 25 years of underwriting, business development, and product development experience to Falcon. He joins from Great American Custom Insurance Services, where he was Senior Vice President, Miscellaneous E&O. Based in Atlanta, Chris will manage the growth of all products across the southeast US, a major area of expansion for Falcon.   

 

"It's no secret Falcon’s been keen to strengthen its presence in one of the largest US insurance hubs. Having someone with Chris’ level of experience is a game changer for us," noted John Merchant, EVP - Cyber and Professional Liability.   

 

Falcon's Design and Build team also makes a major addition, welcoming Andrew Nowlan to the team as Vice President. Andrew served as Vice President, Professional Lines Product Leader at Verus Specialty Insurance. He brings over 15 years of insurance experience as both an underwriter and broker. He is also a veteran of the United States Marine Corps. Based in Greater Philadelphia, Andrew will be responsible for managing the growth of Falcon's Design and Build portfolio of A&E, Real Estate Developers, and Contractors products.  

 

"Due to the inherent complexity of our business, the Design and Build practice needs knowledgeable, service-first, hands-on underwriters. Andrew more than fits that bill, and we're excited to welcome him to the team," says Mike Sacco, SVP - Design & Build Practice Leader.
