Wholesale specialty insurance distributor CRC Group has strengthened its California operations with two key hires.
CRC Group has appointed James Bowen (pictured left) as a casualty broker at its office in San Francisco. Bowen joins from a global insurance carrier where he concentrated on gig economy and digital business risks.
The company has also announced Lucas Kuchta (pictured right) as a broker in its office in Woodland Hills. Kuchta has seven years of experience in the industry, most recently serving as a wholesale insurance brokerage and managing general agency.
According to CRC Group, the appointments align with its commitment to continue improving service capabilities for retail agency partners across the United States.
CRC Group is one of North America's largest wholesale specialty insurance distributors.
These new appointments are part of several recent additions to CRC Group’s team throughout the year, showing the company’s commitment to solidifying its market position.
Earlier this year, the company welcomed key professionals across multiple offices to expand its expertise and geographical presence.
David An joined the Los Angeles office as a property broker, bringing three years of experience at another major insurance player. Meanwhile, underwriting team leader Nicholas Prince was welcomed into the Minneapolis office, bringing with him his transportation expertise.
The Tampa-Bayport, Florida office also grew with the addition of Anna Brown as underwriting team leader. Brown has over a decade of experience in managing general agencies and independent insurance agencies.
Last June, Sarah McKenna joined the team as a property broker in California, bringing with her over eight years of experience, most recently as a business development manager with a global specialty insurer.
The Tampa-Bayport, Florida office was likewise joined by senior team leader Joseph Carothers and team leader Craig Brown with a combined experience of almost three decades in insurance.
CRC Group employs around 5,100 people and continues to position itself as one of North America’s key wholesale specialty insurance providers through these strategic appointments.
