Broker firm McGriff is welcoming back Doug Hodo as he rejoins the firm as chief strategic growth officer.
Starting his new role on August 15, Hodo will be reporting to Read Davis, CEO, McGriff Specialty and Middle Market.
He will be responsible for creating and managing strategic growth initiatives, including business development through marketing and automation; producer recruitment and office expansion; and growth through mergers and acquisitions.
Additionally, he will also be focused on client relationship development, client experience, and client retention and acquisition.
Hodo had previously served more than 25 years at McGriff, most recently as president of the West Region. Prior to rejoining the company, he spent a year working as director of large relationships for a national brokerage.
Commenting on Hodo’s appointment, Davis said: “Doug was an integral part of McGriff’s senior leadership team and played a key role in building our Texas operation to what it is today.
“To have him return home is another strong indicator of support for our vision and mission as McGriff returns to a people-first culture – centred around our teammates and clients.”
