Arrowhead Programs, a division of Arrowhead Intermediaries, has introduced a new international portfolio leadership function to strengthen long-term growth and carrier relationships across its diversified insurance platform.
The role will be filled by Brandon Schall (pictured), newly appointed chief portfolio officer, who will oversee portfolio-level strategy, aligning insurance carrier appetite with portfolio performance and growth objectives, according to a news release.
Schall will be based in Dallas, Texas, and will collaborate with leaders across the division to identify trends, prioritize opportunities, and accelerate new product development.
The move builds on Arrowhead Programs’ $7.9 billion in gross written premium placed in 2025 and its broad delegated underwriting portfolio. It is designed to provide tailored solutions across geographies, lines of business, and risk profiles, the company noted.
Schall brings more than 20 years of experience, including 17 years in senior roles at American Specialty, an Arrowhead Programs MGU, where he led sales with a dual focus on growth and carrier profitability.
Most recently, he served four years as president of Health Special Risk, an accident and health MGU within Arrowhead Programs. With his appointment, Health Special Risk will now be led by Jeff Holmes and Chris Lyons, who joined Arrowhead Intermediaries through the One80 acquisition.
“Carriers consistently tell us they want to do more with Arrowhead Programs,” Schall said. “My charge is to align the right opportunities and product needs across our portfolio with carrier appetite, help teams develop priority products to take to market, and drive growth initiatives for the business.”
Tom Kussurelis, president of Arrowhead Programs, said the new role strengthens the company’s ability to innovate, deliver niche solutions, and sustain disciplined underwriting.
The new leadership function comes as Arrowhead Intermediaries, the parent company of Arrowhead Programs, expands its scale and integration efforts following a series of structural and acquisition-driven changes in 2025 and early 2026.
Last August, the company unified Arrowhead Programs, Bridge Specialty Group, and One80 Intermediaries under a single global platform, a move aimed at enhancing operational agility and delivering greater value to carrier partners.
The integration has significantly increased the group’s size and capabilities, with the platform bringing together more than 7,000 professionals and placing over $18 billion in premium in 2024, while continuing to grow in 2025.
