When asked her thoughts on how the new space reflected their brand, Director and Senior Vice President Barbara Malkowski had this to say: “We’re the masters of unique risk, we’re the contrarians.. we’re not your father’s insurance company, I hate to be so trite but we’re not. Our new approach, our fresh approach, our sleek approach, I would say it definitely plays to that.”
