Renaissance, a leading ancillary insurance carrier of customizable dental and vision plans, has hired insurance industry veteran Terry Walsh as national director of sales and market development.
Walsh will be responsible for exploring growth opportunities for Renaissance’s group insurance sales in new markets. Additionally, he will leverage his industry expertise to improve the company’s direct-selling group practice and will be an integral part of the hiring and training process as the company continues to expand its regional sales force. He will be based in the corporate Renaissance headquarters in Indianapolis.
“Renaissance is a nimble, ancillary carrier poised for tremendous growth,” said Walsh. “It’s an exciting time to join this dynamic organization and I look forward to contributing to its continued success in new markets.”
Walsh brings more than 30 years of insurance experience to Renaissance. He joins the company from Guardian, where he was one of four regional vice presidents for 15 years. During his time at Guardian, Walsh established key broker relationships and was responsible for managing $60 million in non-medical insurance revenue from more than 11 sales offices across 15 states.
“Terry possesses a deep knowledge of the industry and is well-respected for his track record of developing successful group sales organizations,” said Jeff Kolesar, vice president of group sales and market development. “He will be a great addition to our sales leadership team as we continue to grow.”
