PCF names new VP of legal

PCF Insurance Services has announced the appointment of Kenton Walker (pictured above) as vice president of legal. In his new role, Walker will work to mitigate legal risk, scale best practices, and build a culture of legal compliance. He is also responsible for all legal processes relating to merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions.

Walker has 15 years of experience in corporate legal counsel, risk management, business transformation and M&A transaction oversight. Prior to joining PCF, he served as director and associate general counsel at Adobe.

Walker’s focus on corporate M&A will be pivotal in his new role at PCF, which has completed more than 100 acquisitions in the last three years and anticipates completing more than 100 additional acquisitions in 2022 alone.

“Kenton has an impressive track record, and as our business continues to grow at a rapid pace, the strategic hire of in-house counsel is paramount to our future success,” said Felix Morgan, chief financial officer and chief operating officer at PCF. “His knowledge and expertise not only will ensure compliance and regulatory demands are met at a corporate level, but also at a partner level. As we chart a course of continued growth and expansion, Kenton’s expertise and track record will be pivotal assets in ensuring we scale responsibly. We are thrilled to have him join our team.”
