We are looking forward to working with him as president, and are confident he will continue Larry’s legacy and push toward our goal of becoming a billion dollar company.”
As a seasoned Grinnell executive, Menary has a long and distinguished history of leadership, having worked as Director of Underwriting and Production, assistant vice president of Commercial Lines, vice president of Underwriting and Production, and vice president of Reinsurance.
Menary said; “It is such an honor and privilege to be appointed to lead Grinnell Mutual and it’s been a pleasure to work alongside Larry. I’m so excited for our future and I have little doubt we will meet the ambitious goals Larry has set for the company.
“We’ve got a fantastic leadership team and most importantly, employees who care about the company, our customers, and our coworkers.”
