ERIK NETTERFIELD
Executive underwriter
HUDSON INSURANCE GROUP
Age: 33
It was important for Erik Netterfield to come into his own, and insurance gave him the opportunity to do just that. Not only did the industry offer good pay and growth opportunities, but it also gave him a chance to try different lines of business; he eventually found P&C to be a better fit than the health insurance that is his family’s trade.
Netterfield has been with Hudson Insurance Group since 2008 and has expanded its railroad protective liability programs from just five states to 48, with a 300% increase in premium. He was promoted to senior underwriter in 2013 and to executive underwriter earlier this year. His other significant contributions include building a model for reviewing the profitability of potential M&As and developing a company-wide data dictionary for all programs within every underwriting unit.
