CRC Group, a wholesale specialty insurance distributor, has announced the addition of three experienced professionals to its teams across the country, particularly in Dallas, Texas; Jenkintown, Penn.; and Denver, Colo.
The new appointments are part of the company’s ongoing strategic efforts to strengthen its capabilities and meet the growing demands of its retail agency clients, according to a news release.
Sam Sigmon (pictured above left) has joined CRC Group’s Dallas office as an underwriter. Sigmon brings a wealth of experience from his previous role at a managing general agency/carrier hybrid, where he specialized in excess and surplus insurance within the US specialty property market.
In Jenkintown, Penn., Michael Hartman (pictured above center) has been appointed as a professional lines broker. Hartman transitions from a business development role within a management liability platform, adding expertise in professional lines to CRC Group’s offerings.
Donna Bacarti (pictured above right) rounds out the trio of new hires, joining CRC’s Denver office as an underwriting team leader. Bacarti previously served as vice president at another wholesale insurance brokerage firm. With over 20 years of industry experience, Bacarti’s leadership is expected to bolster CRC’s underwriting capabilities.
The announcement comes just weeks after a series of leadership and expert broker hires across the country – including in Tampa, Seattle, and Minneapolis – aimed at bolstering the group’s capabilities. The group also announced a reshuffle of executive leadership within its commercial solutions operations, along with the integration of Atlanta-based INSUREtrust into its wholesale brokerage division to form a cyber practice unit.
CRC Group, with a workforce of over 5,100 employees across the US and Canada, handles more than $40 billion in annual premiums across a range of insurance products, including property and casualty, employee benefits, life, annuities, and long-term care.
