Daryll W Martin has been named executive vice president and director of strategic operations for Regions Insurance Group, a Memphis, Tenn. Wholly-owned subsidiary of Regions Financial Corp. in Birmingham, Ala.

“Martin comes to us with a wealth of industry experience and knowledge that will be of great value as we develop our plans for strategic growth,” David L. “Casey” Bowlin, Regions Insurance Group president and CEO, said. “Among other duties, he will oversee the development and implementation of our sales strategies as well as be responsible for the maintenance of our insurance company relationships at a senior executive, home office level.”

“The integration of financial services, such as banking, wealth management and financial advising, and insurance is a relatively recent phenomena, especially on a large scale,” Martin said. “As opposed to its competitors, Regions is uniquely positioned to deliver value to its customers by being a trusted advisor in all of these areas. The enthusiasm and interest from all parts of the Regions organization to deliver an integrated solution, our intense focus on sales, and an equally strong commitment from our partner insurance markets will assure our growth in the insurance segment of our business.”

Martin comes to Regions from USI Southwest’s Austin, Texas, office where he was operating company president. He was previously with Summit Global Partners heading its Austin and Houston operations. Prior to joining Summit Global Partners, Martin was managing director at Aon Risk Services where he co-led its National Healthcare Practice, and managed its risk management practice and risk management consulting services in Baltimore, Md.
