"Roman is well-known for his consultative and collaborative style, and ability to build strong working relationships. We're eager to get 2019 off to a strong start, now also leveraging Roman's knowledge and relationships to drive growth for our underwriting teams, and in support of our brokers' and clients' objectives," Speeg added.
