Global Indemnity Group LLC (GBLI) announced that its subsidiary, Penn-America Underwriters LLC, is launching its first reinsurance managing general agency (MGA), in partnership with veteran reinsurance executive George Dragonetti, who will also serve as president of the new unit.

Penn-AmericaUnderwriters (PAU) operates as a division of GBLI, specializing in underwriting, growth, and distribution of insurance and reinsurance products, technology solutions, and claims services.

“Mr. Dragonetti brings over three decades of reinsurance expertise—including 13 years in Bermuda and 20 years in the U.S.—to the new venture. His distinguished track record in developing tailored reinsurance solutions, building high-performing teams, and successfully executing strategic growth initiatives will be integral to establishing and advancing PAU’s reinsurance business,” Fox continued.

“I am honored to partner with PAU and to head up its MGA reinsurance business,” Dragonetti remarked. “I look forward to working closely with the leadership team to accelerate growth and deliver underwriting excellence.”
