Wholesale specialty insurance distributor CRC Group has made executive leadership appointments within its commercial solutions operations.

Brent Tredway (pictured left) was named the sole president of the brokerage division. In this role, Tredway will continue to drive the division’s organic growth strategy and execution.

Since 2020, he has spearheaded initiatives in carrier engagement, new and emerging markets, and sales management, significantly contributing to the leadership and success of the firm’s brokerage offerings.

Brennan Paris, currently chief operating officer of CRC’s binding division, will assume the role of binding division president. He will oversee all daily operations for property & casualty binding.

Paris joined CRC in 2019 as senior vice president and director of carrier distribution, where he led the market partner program, developed an international broking strategy, and helped establish its exclusive in-house product line Insurisk.

Chris Carlson (pictured right) will expand his responsibilities to include the role of chief operating officer of CRC’s commercial solutions division, in addition to his current position as national property practice leader.

Since coming on board in 2021, Carlson has been instrumental in expanding the practice group’s expertise and enhancing services for retail clients with improved data, analytics, and exclusive products.

In his wider remit, Carlson will focus on growth strategies, team structuring, producer recruiting, and operational management across commercial solutions.

Mike Brennan, chief executive of commercial solutions, commented: “Chris, Brent, and Brennan all have a consistent track record of success, having played key roles in the leadership, direction, and success of our brokerage and binding divisions.

“We are thrilled to have this team of leaders at the helm as we embrace new opportunities in 2024 and beyond.”
