Peter Rasmussen Joins USA Risk Group in New Business Development Role

Captive manager USA Risk Group has named Peter Rasmussen to a new role for the company, vice president of business development. Mr. Rasmussen will be responsible for driving all sales activity, and, in this role, he will work closely with the organization's subject matter experts.

"We are delighted to have Pete join our team, as his experience in building relationships with people throughout the insurance industry as well as in a [business-to-business] capacity will be strategic for our business growth in the years to come," said Shawn Burger, chief operating officer.

With 16 years of top producing sales and management experience, Mr. Rasmussen has honed his skills in providing product, service, and sales training; cross-functional team building and leadership; customer service and retention management; and relationship development. In particular, he has focused on sales leadership in the business-to-business space, from commercial property and casualty production to claims and risk management.

"I'm ready to hit the ground running," Mr. Rasmussen said. "I look forward to reaching out to insurance brokers to help determine whether a captive is a viable solution for their clients to gain financial control over insurance and risk management costs."

Prior to joining USA Risk Group, Mr. Rasmussen served 3.5 years as assistant vice president of sales at Cunningham Lindsey, a global loss adjusting, claims management, and risk solutions firm. Previously, he spent 7 years with Zurich North America and Arrowhead General Insurance Agency, Inc., where his last role was sales manager.
