Marine Team Transitions at Roanoke

Share This:

We are excited to announce responsibility changes for two marine team members in Roanoke’s Long Beach, California office. Effective January 1, 2017, Manny Hernandez has assumed the role of Senior Underwriter based on his consistent, prudent underwriting and deep understanding of transportation-related risks. We have no doubt that Manny’s twenty-nine plus years of insurance experience will play an instrumental role in continuing to grow and shape our marine program.

Also effective January 1, 2017, we are happy to report that Jon Diverio has assumed the Marine Manager position in Roanoke’s Long Beach office. With over eight years of dedicated service, Jon has earned this position through his firm grasp of marine underwriting and responsiveness to client needs. By turning Jon’s attention to Roanoke Trade’s marine operations, we expect our clients to benefit from his energy and enthusiasm.

Please join us in congratulating both Jon and Manny on their new responsibilities and wishing them all the best in 2017!
