To support its expansion in the Northeast Region, the company has brought on three industry veterans with more than 70 years of combined experience. Michael Miller, EmPRO's newly appointed Vice President of Underwriting, who will lead the Boston office is joined by Michael Kubik, Vice President, Business Development, and Brian Kriger, Vice President of Underwriting.
Miller joins EmPRO after an impressive tenure at Boston-based Coverys, where he served as Vice President of Underwriting. In his new role, Miller will spearhead the company’s Massachusetts operations, leveraging his experience and local market knowledge. He will also drive business growth in Connecticut while actively seeking opportunities to expand into other New England markets.
“I am excited to join EmPRO at such a pivotal moment in its growth journey,” said Miller. “This opportunity allows me to leverage my extensive experience in the Northeast market to contribute to EmPRO's ongoing evolution into a prominent regional player.”
“The healthcare landscape is undergoing significant changes, with services and providers transcending state lines at a rapid pace. To keep up with these developments, EmPRO will be flexible in our approach and remain committed to personalized service so we can effectively accommodate the diverse needs of healthcare practitioners and businesses throughout the Northeast,” Miller added.
Kubik and Kriger also enjoy strong reputations within the broker and medical malpractice communities across New England. Kubik brings over 30 years of industry experience in marketing and new business development at both national and regional levels, having worked with notable insurance companies such as MDAdvantage, Gallagher Bassett, and Coverys. Kriger has more than 20 years of expertise in medical professional liability underwriting, holding various senior roles throughout his career. Before joining EmPRO, he spent 17 years at MDAdvantage, where he served as Vice President of Underwriting & Policyholder Services.
“In an industry where broker and insured relationships are often undervalued, EmPRO is committed to focusing on what truly matters—strong relationships and exceptional service,” said Kubik. “Our proven track record of successfully developing territories and driving profitability speaks for itself, and we look forward to continuing to build on that foundation of trust and expertise.”
“Expanding into new geographic markets is a powerful testament to the strength and resilience of our business, and I am excited to bring our relationship-driven approach and tailored underwriting solutions to the Boston area,” said Bruce Shulan, President and CEO of EmPRO. “With Michael’s leadership and the addition of Michael Kubik’s and Brian Kriger’s relationships and local knowledge, EmPRO enters the market with immediate credibility.”
EmPRO’s expansion into Massachusetts introduces valuable underwriting resources to a highly competitive market. The company’s strategy revolves around the four core principles—relationships, responsiveness, flexibility, and service—that shape EmPRO’s offering.
