California-based insurance holding company, Palomar Holdings, Inc., has appointed Angela Grant as Chief Legal Officer, effective immediately.
Grant brings more than three decades of operational and legal experience in the insurance industry and will oversee all in-house and corporate counsel duties.
She most recently served as Chief Legal & Innovation Officer at CSE Insurance Group. Grant’s previous experience was as the Head of Compliance & Legal at Hippo Insurance.
In addition to her legal and compliance background, past leadership roles at Esurance, Kemper and GEICO burnished her credentials in mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, and strategy.
Mac Armstrong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), commented: “Angela brings tremendous experience and insight to Palomar’s executive leadership group. As we expand our team, I am impressed not only by Angela’s impeccable legal credentials, but by her wide-ranging insurance experience.
“Her approach to ethics and compliance, as well as business development, make her an excellent cultural fit at Palomar, and she will be an invaluable asset to our Company in the years to come.”
Grant added: “I am excited to bring my experience and passion to Palomar in the Chief Legal Officer role. The people at Palomar are an ethical, agile team devoted to supporting their fellow employees and customers. I am proud to play a role in Palomar’s strategic mission and look forward to instituting solutions that further drive profitable growth.”
This appointment comes after the company announced an agreement between Palomar Specialty Insurance and GeoVera Holdings to acquire the renewal rights to GeoVera’s Hawaii residential Hurricane policies, last month.
