MSIG USA, a specialty insurance provider offering a range of commercial and personal insurance solutions, has appointed Matt Thompson as South-Central Region Distribution Leader.
In this role, Thompson will drive growth and strategic initiatives across Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas, reporting to Joseph Fitzpatrick, Head of Distribution for MSIG USA.
Thompson has over 20 years of experience in the insurance and financial services sectors, with a track record of building strong teams and expanding broker and client partnerships through tailored programmes and services.
Thompson served as Regional Vice President for the South-Central Region at Starr, where he was instrumental in expanding the team, strengthening broker partnerships, and advancing strategic growth initiatives across the region.
He also spent more than a decade with AIG in New York in senior client-facing and business development roles, working closely with brokers and corporate clients to structure complex insurance programmes and drive growth across a portfolio of highly sophisticated accounts.
He held the position of Vice President within Marsh’s private equity practice in New York, advising sponsors and portfolio companies on tailored risk solutions in a competitive market. His experience within large, complex organisations has shaped a disciplined, relationship-focused approach to supporting both clients and broker partners.
In his new role, Thompson will focus on reinforcing MSIG USA’s position as a data-informed specialty insurer, enhancing broker and client engagement, aligning distribution with underwriting capabilities, and supporting continued growth across the South-Central US.
“Matt Thompson brings the kind of market perspective that comes from operating both sides of the business,” added Joe Fitzpatrick, Head of Distribution for MSIG USA. “His history of impactful execution combined with his ability to engage in a meaningful and consistent way, will make an immediate impact across the South-Central region.”
