Putting a new label on CNA's excess-and-surplus lines business is just one small step in a building process being led by industry veteran John Angerami, the new head of CNA Select Risk.

In an exclusive interview with National Underwriter recently, Mr. Angerami outlined plans to double the number of wholesale broker partners and employees dedicated to the E&S unit–plans he's developed just three months after joining an insurer he believes has an unusually broad E&S appetite sitting within a retail organization.

Another key feature of Mr. Angerami's blueprint will be an expansion of the property component of CNA's E&S business, which is currently the least developed of four E&S units working with wholesale brokers–casualty, transportation, programs and property.
