American Wholesale Insurance Group Forms San Francisco Brokerage Operation

American Wholesale Insurance Group, the nation’s largest independent wholesale insurance broker, announces the formation of a new wholesale brokerage operation in San Francisco, California to be led by Roger Scullion.

“The opening of the San Francisco brokerage operation reflects the opportunity for growth and the need for an independent wholesaler in Northern California,” said Steven DeCarlo, President & Chief Executive Officer. “San Francisco has long been a part of our planned expansion, but the critical component is attracting a well respected executive to lead the operation. Roger’s extensive background and forward-thinking approach will be critical in helping to grow the market and enhance our existing retail relationships on a national scale.”

“The San Francisco office will be keenly focused on meeting the ever-changing needs of our retail clients. American Wholesale’s capabilities, market relations, and commitment to serve independent retail agents & brokers — exclusively — is our competitive difference. Simply put, at American Wholesale the agent & broker is not discounted or commoditized in the insurance transaction; they are the client,” said Roger Scullion. Scullion continued, “For me, American Wholesale is the right choice, and I am glad to be a part of this professional, dynamic and growing team.”

“We are proud to have Roger join the California team. Under his direction, our Northern California footprint will be expanded and is sure to complement our rich heritage in Southern California,” said George Maggay, President of MTS Insurance Services.

Scullion has an extensive wholesale brokerage background spanning over twenty years and over ten years on the insurance carrier side of the business.
