Meet the Experts in Water Business Insurance

The management team at Managing General Underwriter WaterColor Management is comprised of the leaders in water industry insurance, claims and risk management. They have developed and underwritten the biggest water treatment book in the United States.

John Walsh, FCII

Director & Underwriter

John has worked at U.S., Bermuda and London firms since the 1980s, with a focus on underwriting, broking and claims management. In 2001, John founded Fintra International Ltd, an independent Property & Casualty re/insurance brokerage specializing in self-insured risks, excess liability and captive insurance. He is a fellow of the Chartered Insurance Institute and an MBA. In 2012, together with Don Cleveland, he acquired WaterColor Management.

Donald Cleveland

President

Don began his insurance career in 1979 as President of an Iowa-based Property & Casualty insurance and reinsurance brokerage firm. He came to insurance after 13 years in legislative research and lobbying for local governments, rising to the Presidency of the National Association of County Association Executives. He “fell” into the insurance industry by creating one of the first local government captive insurance programs. At the time, no carrier would write insurances for local governments. Since then, he has served in executive capacities for insurance companies and brokers and was the Director of Risk Management for the largest construction authority in the United States.
