CRC Group announced, as part of their increased focus on the personal lines market place, that Jackson, Mississippi based Claire Willis has accepted the position as CRC Group’s National Personal Lines Practice Leader.

Claire joined CRC Group in 2006 as a personal lines underwriter after graduating from Mississippi State University. Since joining CRC, she has grown and managed a large personal lines book of business. In addition, she has built a stellar reputation with personal lines carriers.

“Claire’s knowledge, experience and background as an underwriter made her an obvious choice for this national leadership role. She is going to be an incredible asset and will be working hard to help CRC grow our personal lines practice,” said Dave Obenauer, CRC Group’s CEO.

As the Personal Lines Practice Leader, Claire will be dedicated to growing CRC Group’s personal lines footprint nationwide and will represent CRC Group with key markets to assist with its expansion and gain more market support.

“Over the past 12 months, we have invested in new personal lines talent across the country, while at the same time investing in technology to establish an online personal lines agent portal that is scheduled to rollout this fall. With Claire’s leadership, we hope to accelerate those initiatives and continue to achieve industry leading growth in the personal lines marketplace,” said Obenauer.
