Safeco Announces New Sales Regions and Field Leadership

"Independent insurance agents have consistently told us they want more personal contact," said Spencer Donkin, senior vice president, Sales and Distribution at Safeco. "These new regions will make that possible, and our new region executives will bring a strategic and 'hands-on' approach to agency relations and distribution management."

The company, so far, has named two new executives as leaders for their respective regions. Chris Allen will oversee the Midwest region. Allen comes to Safeco from Progressive Insurance where he was director of independent agency distribution. In that role, he headed a sales organization responsible for working with thousands of independent agencies in the Midwest and Northeast.

Safeco also has tapped Claudette Kenmir to oversee the West region. Kenmir has been with the company for 19 years in several leadership roles including heading up Safeco's National Sales Center in Liberty Lake, Washington.

"Both Chris and Claudette will bring the experience, expertise and demonstrated leadership required to strengthen Safeco teams and accelerate profitable growth between us and our independent agency partners," said Donkin.

The company plans to name leaders for the other regions in the coming weeks.

Safeco, in business since 1923, is a Fortune 500 property and casualty insurance company based in Seattle.
