Retail insurance broker McGriff has announced the promotion of Mike Breedlove (pictured above) to national sales and growth leader.
In his new role, Breedlove will set the strategy and sales activities for McGriff’s commercial lines, including property and casualty, group benefits, surety, and the firm’s Executive Risk Advisors division.
Breedlove has more than 35 years of industry experience. Prior to his promotion, he served as McGriff’s national director of property and casualty. During his tenure in that role, Breedlove established the McGriff Young Performers Program, a coaching and development program for new insurance producers. Since its launch in 2019, the program has grown to include nearly 150 commercial and employee benefits producers, and has posted annual double-digit growth.
