Christopher T. Smith

Mr. Smith is one of the panelists for Workshop M3, "Wrap-Up Dos and Don'ts," on Monday. He is the Corporate Insurance Manager and National CCIP Director for Turner Construction Company in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey. He has worked in insurance for 18 years and exclusively in underwriting and risk management of construction and wrap-up accounts for the last 14. Over the past 8 years at Turner Construction he has held positions as insurance manager and national CCIP technical director, where he has combined his underwriting skills acquired during his tenure at Liberty Mutual with those of risk management while working for Turner Construction.

As the National CCIP Director he has seen Turner Construction's rolling CCIP program grow to be one of the largest programs in the country (over 700 projects totaling 25B since 2001). In this position he is also responsible for business unit support in reviewing all owner controlled insurance programs and assists in facilitating project-specific placements. As a portfolio and account underwriter with Liberty Mutual he underwrote some of the largest construction accounts in the country. In addition to his work with CCIPs, some with construction volumes in excess of $250 million, he was also instrumental in helping to put together cohesive rolling wrap-up programs for several Fortune 500 companies.

His experience includes extensive knowledge of all types of risk management programs including risk financing, insurance coverage, CCIP administration, claim management, and contractor operations.
