Andrew Pateyuk
MSIG USA has appointed Andrew Pateyuk as Head of Retail and Wholesale Property, expanding its underwriting leadership as the specialty insurer seeks to strengthen its commercial property business in the United States.
Pateyuk brings more than 20 years of experience in property underwriting, risk engineering and portfolio management, with expertise in large commercial and industrial risks, power generation facilities and natural catastrophe exposures.
In his new role, Pateyuk will oversee MSIG USA‘s retail and wholesale property insurance operations, including underwriting strategy, portfolio performance, risk selection and profitable growth.
He will work with the company’s underwriting and distribution leadership teams to strengthen its market position and incorporate data analytics and technical risk assessment into underwriting decisions.
“Andrew brings the technical expertise, underwriting judgment and leadership experience needed to advance our property business,” said Peter McKenna, Chief Executive Officer of MSIG USA.
“His background across underwriting and risk engineering, combined with his understanding of the retail and wholesale markets, will be instrumental as we continue to expand our capabilities while maintaining the discipline and consistency that underpin our long-term strategy.”
Pateyuk joins MSIG USA from SCOR Business Solutions, where he most recently served as Senior Vice President and Head of Complex Property and Power Generation Underwriting for North America.
At SCOR, he was responsible for underwriting strategy and portfolio performance across complex commercial and industrial property exposures, including energy infrastructure and risks associated with natural catastrophes.
His responsibilities included evaluating large-scale property risks and managing underwriting portfolios involving technically complex facilities and significant potential losses.
Before joining SCOR, Pateyuk held senior underwriting and leadership positions at Allianz and Munich Re, gaining experience across commercial property insurance and reinsurance markets.
Earlier in his career, he worked at FM Global, where he developed expertise in property risk assessment and engineering-based underwriting.
His experience across insurance, reinsurance and risk engineering provides a foundation for managing MSIG USA’s property portfolio across both retail broker and wholesale distribution channels.
Pateyuk holds a Master of Business Administration from Chadron State College and a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from McGill University.
The appointment comes as commercial property insurers continue to evaluate complex exposures involving natural catastrophes, industrial operations and infrastructure assets while balancing underwriting capacity with portfolio profitability.
MSIG USA said Pateyuk’s leadership will support its strategy of expanding specialty underwriting capabilities while maintaining disciplined risk selection and consistent portfolio management.
