MSIG USA Welcomes Erika Shalette as General Counsel

In a significant move to strengthen its legal expertise, MSIG USA has announced the appointment of Erika Shalette as its new general counsel. With almost 25 years of rigorous legal experience, particularly within the insurance sector, Shalette's arrival marks a pivotal moment for the company as it looks to navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.

Shalette comes to MSIG USA following an impressive stint as executive vice president and general counsel at Amynta Group. During her tenure, she was responsible for overseeing a broad range of legal, compliance, and regulatory matters on a global scale. This role also required her to provide essential legal guidance to the executive team and board of directors, particularly in matters related to corporate governance and strategic transactions.

Prior to her time at Amynta Group, Shalette had held senior legal positions at well-respected companies such as Chubb and AIG, where she skillfully managed complex mergers and acquisitions and conducted extensive strategic investments. Her earlier career also includes senior counsel roles at Mitsubishi Corporation (Americas) and Willkie Farr Gallagher LLP, giving her a well-rounded perspective on legal issues pertinent to both domestic and international markets.

A Harvard University graduate, Shalette earned her law degree from New York University School of Law. Her educational background combined with her vast experience allows her to bring a wealth of knowledge to MSIG USA, particularly in mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, compliance regulations, litigation, and commercial transactions.

Kent Ziegler, the chief financial and administrative officer of MSIG USA, expressed enthusiasm about Shalette's appointment, emphasizing her remarkable blend of legal acumen and business insight. "Erika's combination of legal expertise, business acumen, and deep insurance industry experience makes her an invaluable addition to MSIG USA," said Ziegler. "Her leadership will strengthen our ability to navigate complex regulatory environments while supporting the company's significant growth strategy."

As general counsel, Shalette will take charge of all legal and compliance issues at MSIG USA, which aids the company in maintaining effective corporate governance practices. She will also manage regulatory requirements and support strategic initiatives, helping the firm position itself for future growth as it expands its footprint in the U.S. specialty market.
