# PLRISK Announces promotion of Ornella Cheron to Assistant Vice President

[Drew Smith](https://blog.plrisk.com/author/drew-smith)

 May 6, 2024, 9:23:27 AM

![](https://blog.plrisk.com/hubfs/Ornella%20Promo%20(1)%20(003).jpg)

PLRisk Specialty Insurance Agency, LLC (PLRisk) is pleased to announce that Ornella Cheron, Director of Product Development has been promoted to the position of Assistant Vice President of Service and Operations. Ornella was hired to assist the company in developing new product lines and in launching the company’s new MGU (PLRisk Pro). That program is almost ready to launch, and it is time for Ornella to take on new and exciting responsibilities. In her two years with the company, she has been very busy in developing new products and services and building out the infrastructure for the company’s evolving growth. Her new role is multifaceted and will involve her oversight of the company’s Programs Division, new Service Center as well as the Select Division for handling middle market accounts. Each of these new divisions was created by Ornella through her hard work as well as her team.

**About Ornella**

Born in Nyack New York and now residing in Atlanta Georgia, Ornella obtained her Business Administration degree from Clayton State University while being a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha. After her graduation, she quickly earned her Producer and Surplus Lines Licenses. Her career began at Specialty Program Group where she started as an underwriter position in the company Underwriters.

In 2019, this hard work was recognized by Loyd’s of London, where she was offered and then subsequently completed a two-week mentorship with Loyd’s Underwriters. That same year, she accepted an underwriter job with Pure Insurance. During her time there, she developed the Jacksonville region and was able to get her company’s retention rate to 92 percent. She was a great part of her company’s culture, facilitating communications between operations and the underwriting team.

Three years later she was scouted and then hired by PLRisk Advisors, Inc (now PLRisk Specialty) to head up their Special Projects Division with a new MPL Program as its first major project. As a Director of Special Projects, she was involved in many aspects of the company’s future development and spent the first year building out the MPL program. With her new position, she will become a member of the management team and will help guide the company with its vertical growth initiatives. The new PLRisk Pro division will be providing miscellaneous professional liability nationwide. Our new Service Center will allow us to more effectively process client needs while allowing our sales team to grow and expand their client networks. Ornella has been instrumental in the development of each of these areas of the company and its these reason that it is only appropriate to highlight her in this Spotlight.

**Comments from President and CEO, Mike Smith**

When asked about Ornella’s promotion, CEO Mike Smith had this to say about her rise. “Ornella has been an incredible person to work with and her dedication to the industry has been nothing short of phenomenal. I am grateful to have her as part of the team. Her new position will allow her to have a hand in developing our new divisions as our growth and expansion continues.”

When she isn’t helping our company grow or impressing the industry, Ornella is a fan of fantasy shows and of traveling.

**In conclusion**

Ornella Cheron's career progression from her time as an account manager at Pure Insurance to her current role as the Assistant Vice President, Service and Operations, is a testament to her dedication and expertise. Her industry experience, coupled with her drive for success, has enabled her to make significant contributions to the insurance industry. As she takes on her new role, her impact is expected to drive the company's growth and solidify its position in the industry.

**About PL Risk**

Founded in 2012, PLRisk Specialty Insurance Agency LLC is the wholesale division of Axis Management Group Holdings, Inc., providing professional liability coverage solutions for insurance agents nationwide. Our high-quality coverage options include errors and omissions, directors and officers, fiduciary, crime and privacy/network security programs.
