Three organizations have announced leadership changes across the US insurance industry.

AM Specialty promotes Randall to company secretary

AM Specialty Insurance Group promoted Thomas Randall (pictured, left) to company secretary of AM Specialty Insurance Company. Randall joined the organization in 2023 as junior attorney and most recently served as associate counsel.

In his new role, Randall will oversee corporate governance, regulatory filings, and administrative oversight, supporting the group’s operational and compliance objectives across multiple subsidiaries.

Randall earned a Doctor of Law from the University of North Texas Dallas College of Law, where he was a member of the Phi Delta Phi Honor Society, and a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from the University of Arizona.

PIWA elects 2025–26 officers and directors

The Professional Insurance Wholesalers Association (PIWA) elected its officers and directors for the 2025–26 administrative year last week.

Kyle Burch of W.H. Greene & Associates Inc. in East Aurora, NY, will serve as president, having previously held vice president, treasurer, and secretary roles. Peter Burrous, of Johnson & Johnson, in Charleston, SC, was named vice president. Dennis Lee of Munich RE in New York, will serve as treasurer, while Paige Troy, also of Johnson & Johnson, returns as secretary.

Jonathan Schwartz of Bridge Specialty Group and Joseph Farella of AmWins Insurance Brokerage were newly elected to the board for two-year terms.

CIC Services appoints Arms VP of risk management consulting

CIC Services named Jackson Arms (pictured, right) vice president of risk management consulting on Friday.

Arms brings more than 15 years of consulting and risk advisory experience, covering sectors including architecture and engineering, construction, government, healthcare, and education.

“As market conditions tighten and traditional insurance coverage becomes less predictable or less affordable, more organizations are seeking structured, data-driven strategies to manage volatility,” said Randy Sadler, principal and chief marketing officer at CIC Services.

“Jackson understands how to translate complex operational risks into strategic captive solutions. His consultative approach will further strengthen our ability to help clients implement programs that improve stability, governance, and financial efficiency.”

Arms holds a Bachelor of Science in Communications from the University of Tennessee.
