Renaissance Specialty Insurance (RSI), supported by Roosevelt Road Specialty, the MGU division of Roosevelt Road Capital Partners, announced that Jason Thrash has joined the company as a Senior Programme Underwriter.
Thrash brings more than 18 years of experience underwriting Sports, Leisure, and Entertainment programmes, with a concentration in Sports and Motorsports.
His background includes working with amateur and professional sports organisations, stadiums, venues, and recreational facilities, giving him insight into the exposures common in these sectors.
In his new role, Thrash will focus on risk evaluation and underwriting across Property & Casualty, Excess Casualty, and Participant Accident lines.
He will work with the RSI team to support underwriting profitability, manage production targets, and maintain relationships with clients, brokers, and carriers through effective communication and negotiation.
Thrash’s familiarity with underwriting systems and processes allows him to assess applications, identify areas of concern, and recommend appropriate policy terms, conditions, and pricing. His addition aligns with RSI’s efforts to strengthen its capabilities in the Sports, Leisure, and Entertainment markets.
“We’re very excited to add Jason Thrash to the RSI team!” added Chris Smyth, RSI Chief Underwriting Officer.
“Jason brings a wealth of industry experience and expertise in underwriting the Sports, Leisure and Entertainment niche. This, combined with Jason’s already established relationships with many of our existing clients, align perfectly with our mission to deliver best-in-class solutions across the board.”
Before joining RSI, Thrash managed a complex, multi-line portfolio for one of the largest specialty motorsports programs in the United States.
He was involved in growing the Facilities & Events segment to more than $13 million in written premium for fiscal year 2024. Thrash’s work supported the expansion of the broader motorsports programme, which surpassed $20 million in written premium—exceeding the 2024 target by 20% and setting a new production record for the programme.
