WFG National Title
Insurance Company (“WFG”) has realigned its Agency Division nationwide to better
accommodate its rapid growth.As part of
the move, Barron Buss has joined the company as Senior Vice President to
oversee the National Agents group.
Joseph McCabe, Executive Vice President
overseeing the Agency Division nationwide, announced several changes as part of
the realignment, which includes a reapportionment of the geographic districts:
- Morton Manassaram, SVP, will oversee the new Southeast Agency
Group.
- Robert Bauchle, SVP, will oversee the company’s new Mid-Atlantic
Group.
- Cindy Mills, SVP, will manage the new Northeastern Group.
- Carl Bauchle, VP, will head up the newly formed Central Group.
- Russell Sugg, SVP, will manage the new Southwestern Group.
- Brian Kelly, SVP, will manage WFG’s new Western Group.
Each regional manager will report directly to
McCabe, with the exception of Senior Vice President Earle Thompson, who will
continue to manage the company’s Louisiana/Mississippi Group and report to
Charles Cain, EVP.
Cain will now also oversee the entire
division’s national development efforts.Gene Rebadow, EVP, will oversee sales for the entire division.“We really wanted to get Chuck and Gene out
into the field where we really need their unique skills to support our agents
and our growth,” said McCabe.“In their
new capacities, they will have more freedom from the administrative and help us
where we need their talents the most as we grow—as resources to our clients.” Cain and Rebadow will also continue to manage
the development and sales of the division’s high-priority Blocks initiative,
which provides WFG agents with a depository of sales, marketing and business
support resources.
Barron Buss will join WFG to oversee its
National Agency group, including the building of a new Agency Services division
to support WFG agents in geographic markets where they do not otherwise have a
footprint. Buss, a 17-year industry veteran, has spent his career in critical
roles for two of the most successful national underwriter divisions in the
industry. He brings valuable insight and a fresh perspective on how WFG and its
agents can collaborate to ensure success. “It’s an incredible opportunity to be
tasked with building such resources for the industry’s most agent-centric
underwriter,” said Buss. “I look forward to helping to provide a critical agent
resource for our clients.”
According to Patrick Stone, Chairman and CEO
of Williston Financial Group, the realignment comes on the heels of rapid
growth in the Agency Division. “These
moves simply represent a reallocation of our assets to a position in which they
are best utilized. We realized that we had simply outgrown our previous
structure, and that it was time to better position our best assets and
resources where they can be of the most assistance to our clients,” said Stone.
“We’re confident that our updated structure will only accelerate our growth
while allowing us to maintain the high level of service our agents have rightly
come to expect.”
