Our Team

The Culture Is Unlike Anything I’ve Been A Part Of

“I work on many unique products and no day is the same. Not only is my work interesting, the culture is unlike anything I’ve been a part of. Everyone is eager to help, questions are encouraged and we cheer each other on to success. I never expected to be working in commercial transportation insurance, but I am so glad that I do – it is challenging, rewarding and exciting!"
Lauren Fronczek Assistant Vice President, Specialty Transportation, National Interstate

A Career in Insurance Can Be Very Versatile and Gratifying

“I never expected to enjoy a career in insurance, but working first in traditional Underwriting, and now on the Alternative Risk Transfer team, I discovered how a career in insurance can be very versatile and gratifying. Whether I am underwriting a renewal, preparing for an Advisory Board Meeting or answering questions regarding program mechanics, every day is a new challenge for me to master.”
Brandi Fredeking Associate Product Manager, Vanliner

I Thoroughly Enjoy the Challenge

“I am always fascinated by the opportunities presented by the volumes and variety of data sets intertwined with complex rules and relationships, and I thoroughly enjoy the challenge to help harness the data and extract the best value for the customer, through a continuous cycle of Innovation, Exploration, Collaboration and Learning.”
Bhanu Akaveeti Senior Data Architect, National Interstate
