Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance (BHSI) has announced its entry into the Polish insurance market and the appointment of Carsten Keune as Country Manager, Poland. The move marks another step in the company's expansion across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).

Based in Warsaw, Keune will lead BHSI's operations in Poland and across CEE, focusing on developing the company's market strategy and strengthening relationships with clients and brokers.

“Carsten brings the experience, leadership and market insight to advance BHSI’s growth across Central & Eastern Europe,” said Andreas Krause, Head of DACH at BHSI. He added that Keune's expertise would help establish the company's presence in Poland and introduce its insurance capabilities and long-term approach to local businesses.

BHSI's expansion into Poland reflects its commitment to developing its regional operations, combining local underwriting expertise, responsive claims services, and specialized insurance solutions backed by Berkshire Hathaway's financial strength.

Across CEE, BHSI offers a broad portfolio of commercial insurance products, including property, casualty, construction, energy, executive and professional lines, marine, and multinational insurance.

BHSI operates in Europe through Berkshire Hathaway European Insurance DAC and Berkshire Hathaway International Insurance Limited, both part of Berkshire Hathaway's National Indemnity group of insurance companies, which holds financial strength ratings of A++ from AM Best and AA+ from S&P.
