Our direct business model ensures our clients have direct access to decision makers, and underwriting, actuarial and claims experts, who understand and support their business objectives. Gen Re is headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut. A network of 37 branch and subsidiary offices are located globally in key markets. Our professionals bring a combination of local knowledge and global strength to our clients. We work closely with our clients to understand their objectives so that we can provide relevant capacity and differentiated services to them. Gen Re hires and trains the best underwriters, actuaries and claims professionals in the industry. We are in the risk assumption business - just like our clients - so the work that we do on a daily basis is a valuable component of how we see and evaluate risk. We share this experience with our clients in various ways - via direct underwriter-to-underwriter dialogue, research, technical seminars, underwriting and claims roundtables and audits, to name a few.
