VANESSA McCollum

I work closely with retail agents to gather and interpret detailed risk information, ensuring complete and accurate submissions. My responsibilities include assessing exposures such as coverage needs, loss history, and operational risk factors to align accounts with suitable carriers. I regularly collaborate with both agents and carriers to facilitate communication, support informed decision-making, and secure placement for standard and non-standard risks. Additionally, I stay up to date on market trends and carrier appetite shifts while ensuring compliance, accuracy, and timely processing throughout the underwriting workflow.
