Venbrook Group, a large independent insurance distribution and services firm in the US, has announced the appointment of Bryan Meyer as Executive Vice President, Programs for Venbrook Specialty Services, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Meyer holds over three decades of experience across both the carrier and program administration sides.
In the new role, he will be responsible for managing general underwriters and all other aspects of Venbrook’s specialty division, including sales, customer support, carrier relationships, client solutions, and underwriting and binding authority for the firm’s program divisions.
