Andrea Zenner
Senior Broker / Regional Vice President • Los Angeles Region
I have been in the insurance industry for 36 years. Always on the wholesale side. WSS has given me plenty of opportunities in the 27 years that I have worked with them. I worked my way up to underwriting manager, then branch manger and eventually opened up a satellite office working as the VP and Senior Broker. My territories include Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara & Kern Counties. I am focused on the development of key retail brokers, building relationships and the growth of my book of business. My goal is to provide my clients with great service, specialized products for their individual needs and competitive pricing all in a timely fashion.
Judy Hall
Senior Vice President / Underwriting • Bar & Tavern Program
I have been working in the insurance industry since 1978, and always in Surplus Lines. I joined WSS in 1995, and since that time, have been working with and underwriting for, all of our contract markets. All of our very experienced underwriters, including myself, work very closely with our brokers, in utilizing all of our binding authorities to provide great service, and solutions for all of our customers.
Jason Clark
Assistant Vice President / Underwriting • Bar & Tavern Program
I started with WSS in 2007, fresh out of college with a degree in Risk Management and Insurance. I have experienced a variety of roles in my time here, all while gaining practical experience in the wholesale and surplus lines segment of the industry. I found my niche in underwriting, and particularly within our bar/tavern program offered under WestPro Insurance Services. Assisting in managing this book of business, along with the other experienced underwriters, has produced one of the longest, and most dependable products available for bar, tavern and restaurant customers. My goal is to help in the continued growth and profitability of this program so it will continue to be a viable product for many more years to come.
