IronHealth promotes chief operating officer to president

Ironshore, a Liberty Mutual Company, has appointed Lainie Dorneker as president of its healthcare professional liability unit IronHealth.

Dorneker assumes the role from Matthew Dolan, who was recently named president of Ironshore US Operations. In her new role, she will continue to report to Dolan.

Dorneker most recently served as chief operating officer of IronHealth, responsible for all key strategic and tactical initiatives in support of IronHealth’s production, profit, distribution, and claims activities.

Dorneker joined Ironshore in 2009 as product manager for IronHealth’s Custom Account facility, where she oversaw IronHealth’s broad array of alternative risk transfer and risk financing solutions for healthcare organizations, which include loss portfolio transfers, stand-alone tails, fronting policies, and other tailor-made solutions. In addition, she later assumed the role of Midwest regional manager for IronHealth.

Prior to joining Ironshore, she worked for Zurich in various roles, including professional liability counsel and senior underwriter.

“Lainie has played an integral role in the growth of IronHealth during her professional tenure with the company and been instrumental in the development of new product solutions for our diverse healthcare clients,” said Dolan. “Her knowledge and insight in managing complex coverage demands will be invaluable as IronHealth continues to navigate the changing healthcare environment.”
