Several insurance companies have announced leadership changes aimed at strengthening their market positions and operational structures.
Mohmoud Bondugjie (pictured left) has been appointed as assistant vice president of general commercial at Hinterland Insurance as part of a broader restructuring of its underwriting divisions.
Bondugjie, who has over 15 years of experience managing commercial risk portfolios, will lead the general commercial division, focusing on risks with a total insurable value of up to $7.5 million. He will be based in the company’s San Diego office.
Before joining Hinterland, Bondugjie held leadership positions in risk management and wholesale insurance.
Carol Voorhees (pictured right), currently executive vice president and chief operating officer at NJM Insurance, has been appointed president and CEO. She will succeed Mitch Livingston, who will retire on July 31, 2025, after 19 years with the company.
Vorhees, who joined the company in 1996 as a systems analyst, was promoted to senior vice president and chief information officer in 2018, and then executive vice president and chief operating officer in 2024.
HDI Global Insurance has announced a new leadership structure for its US casualty operations. Ed Wu has been named vice president and US casualty lead, while Thomas Long will serve as vice president and admitted casualty lead.
Wu, who has nearly 30 years of experience in commercial casualty insurance, will oversee HGIC’s casualty underwriting from Las Vegas. He will report to HGIC chief underwriting officer Marco Hensel. Long, who has over 35 years of experience in underwriting and alternative risk markets, will report to Wu.
Wu said the realignment ensures coordinated delivery of casualty solutions while maintaining a focus on distribution channels. Meanwhile, Long emphasized that integrating retail and wholesale capabilities under unified leadership will provide clients with solutions tailored to evolving risks.
