Employee benefits general agency BenefitMall has appointed Crystal Bishop (pictured) as benefits sales executive for Southern California as part of boosting the company’s regional presence and broker relationships.

With a career spanning over two decades in the insurance sector, Bishop brings a wealth of experience to her new role at BenefitMall. Before her appointment, she was a sales manager at another wholesale insurance brokerage firm. Bishop’s background also includes several years with a general agency where she developed deep expertise in group benefits.

Hadley Weiler, western regional vice president at BenefitMall, said: “Crystal is known for her exceptional customer service and commitment to maintaining strong relationships. Our brokers will appreciate her employee benefits knowledge and experience.”

BenefitMall, which has been on a hiring spree, recently appointed the following to their respective positions:

Michael LaBarre – benefits sales executive, professional employer organization
Anthony Pipia – benefits sales executive, New York
Will Provost – benefits sales executive, New England
Sandi Llewellyn – benefits sales executive, Arizona
Trent Wong – benefits sales executive, Texas
Julie Linn – benefits sales executive, Georgia
Ivonne Arroyo – benefits sales executive, Florida
Lisa Elstein – benefits sales executive, Florida
Xavier Montes – broker sales executive, California

BenefitMall works with a network of 20,000 brokers, delivering employee benefits to over 200,000 small and medium-sized businesses.

The firm’s rapid expansion comes at a time when the benefits market has been touted as one with a host of opportunities for brokers and managing general agents.

Samuel Fleet, of Amwins, recently told Insurance Business: “MGAs are focused on the space because traditional [property and casualty] carriers have been looking to get into the accident and health space.
