Our Expertise

Manufacturing Risk, Reimagined

Sentric’s first area of innovation is manufacturing defect protection, bringing together product recall underwriting and manufacturers E&O thinking in a more comprehensive approach. Our solutions are designed for companies whose products, components, supply chains, and customers can be affected by manufacturing, design, distribution, or recall events.

We serve specialty risks across manufacturing, consumer goods, consumable products, crisis management, and professional liability, with an initial focus on practical solutions for component parts, finished products, food and beverage, and related manufacturing exposures.

Our Mission & Values

Specialty With Purpose

Our mission is to build specialty insurance programs that are innovative, disciplined, and useful in the moments that matter. We believe specialty underwriting should be clear, responsive, and grounded in long-term profitability for all stakeholders.

Evan Pollock

Head of Sentric Canada

Evan Pollock leads Sentric Specialty's Canadian underwriting practice. Before moving into underwriting, Evan spent over four years as a Senior Claims Examiner in Chubb's Special Investigation Unit in Canada, managing complex fraud investigations, vendor relationships, and law enforcement coordination. That foundation gave him a claims-first understanding of how product failures actually unfold before he ever wrote a policy. He carried that perspective into product recall underwriting at Chubb, then to Beazley where he became Lead Underwriter for the Canadian book.

At Sentric, Evan anchors the Canada practice with the kind of technical depth and risk instinct that comes from having seen both sides of a loss.

Angela Beaupre

AVP, Manufacturing Risk Solutions

Angela Beaupre joined Sentric Specialty in April 2026 as AVP of Manufacturing Risk Solutions, bringing nearly a decade of specialized product recall experience across underwriting and product development.

Angela spent six years at Beazley, where she moved from Product Recall Underwriter to Product Specialist, a role focused on form development and product strategy for the recall line. Before that, she spent nearly three years at Chubb as an Underwriter in Product Recall, where she and Alex first worked together. That combination of frontline underwriting and product-level expertise gives her a practical understanding of both how risks behave and how coverage needs to be structured to respond to them.
