MIC Global is delighted to announce the promotion of Paige Stiefel to Chief Underwriting Officer. At MIC, being the Chief Underwriting Officer is broader than the traditional industry standard of CUO. At its core, Underwriting is an art, not a science. At MIC, the CUO embodies creativity, artistry, and innovation – all key skills of Paige.

Being the CUO at MIC Global means dealing with some of the most innovative companies and startup in the world and matching that innovation through underwriting. This is where the art comes in, taking ambiguity, data, analysis, and experience to tell a story and create meaningful products and experiences for our customers. With Paige’s leadership the underwriting team listens to our customers to break down traditional insurance barriers to take our customers on a journey – a journey to develop programs that provide protection, trust, peace of mind, and an overall safety net.
