New appointments and promotions at Pinnacle

Independent property and casualty actuarial consulting firm Pinnacle Actuarial Resources has made several new appointments. Hongmei Li and Darcie Truttmann are named the firm’s newest senior consulting actuaries, while Andrew Krieger, Brittany Henrich and Nicole McArdle have been appointed as consulting actuaries.

Li joins the firm after over 12 years with KPMG US and, before that, worked as an actuarial analyst with Swiss Re American Corporation. Krieger is also a new hire, joining from a large personal lines insurer. Truttmann has been with Pinnacle since 2005, most recently in a consulting actuary role, while Henrich and McArdle were previously associate actuaries, joining Pinnacle in 2016.

“We couldn’t be more pleased about these talented individuals joining our consulting team,” Pinnacle managing principal Joe Herbers said. “These are accomplished actuaries with years of experience in multiple lines of business and in different industry sectors, including predictive analytics and captive insurance. They broaden and deepen the range of expertise we can bring to bear for our clients and help those clients make better business decisions.”

He added: “We are particularly excited that four of five of these appointments are women leaders, each with a track record of stewardship, both inside and outside our firm. Pinnacle is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, and the addition of such outstanding consultants strengthens the work we do and the solutions we develop for our clients.”

Headquartered in Bloomington, Illinois, Pinnacle also has offices in Atlanta, Chicago and San Francisco.
