Amerisure and MSIG USA have announced senior leadership appointments that highlight their focus on underwriting discipline and growth in competitive insurance markets.
Amerisure has promoted Kendall Clavin to vice president, field underwriting. In his new role, Clavin will oversee field underwriting and relationship management activities, ensuring alignment with the company's strategic objectives and supporting the growth of its Partner for Success agencies.
Clavin (pictured above, left) has more than 20 years of experience in the insurance industry and has held a series of leadership positions since joining Amerisure in 2012 as a marketing underwriting in the St. Louis office. He later became CSC manager, with responsibilities for Arizona and Utah, before moving into assistant vice president and regional vice president roles covering multiple states. Most recently, as vice president of underwriting production, he was instrumental in strengthening agency relationships and in the launch of the company’s Agency Managing Directors.
Amerisure said Clavin is expected to drive profitable growth by aligning field production with technical teams to create a more seamless experience for agency customers.
MSIG USA, a specialty commercial insurance provider under the Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Company group, has appointed Martin J. Sullivan as chairman of its board.
