Valley Insurance Agency Alliance (VIAA), a network of more than 130 independent insurance agencies in Missouri and Illinois, has announced the appointment of Susan Piccione (pictured) as regional manager of Missouri.
In her new role, Piccione will oversee new business development and cultivation of the company’s Independent Strategic Member alliance. Prior to joining VIAA, she worked in the small commercial sector, and most recently in claims solutions and analytics for a Fortune 500 company. Before her insurance career, Piccione was a community living trainer and program coordinator for a non-profit that served the developmentally disabled.
“Susan possesses the significant amount of expertise that we were searching for to manage and pursue our key partnerships,” said JD Powers, president of VIAA. “Her business skillset aligns perfectly with our goals, and we look forward to the leadership qualities and expansion tactics she will bring to our organization.”
VIAA is a regional founding member for the Strategic Insurance Agency Alliance, and generates more than $250 million in annual written premium.
