Brown & Brown Names Northeastern Execs

Flordia-based Brown & Brown, Inc.announced that Thomas E. Riley has been elected as regional president, responsible for the company’s operations in the Northeastern U.S., as well as certain offices in south Florida.

At the same time, Robert F. Iocco was elected a regional executive vice president, and will assume responsibility for certain operations in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

Riley has been with Brown & Brown since 1990, when he joined as chief financial officer. He has been promoted through several positions over the years and was elected as regional executive vice president in 2001. In his new position, Riley will continue to be responsible for his current regional operations but will enhance his responsibilities through an expanded role in further growing the company’s overall operations.

Iocco joined Brown & Brown in 1992, after serving three years as an independent auditor with Ernst & Young LLP. He served in several capacities prior to being promoted to manager for the company’s national Physicians Protector Plan insurance program, in 1997. In 2000, Iocco was named the divisional executive vice president responsible for the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania office, which he has grown into one of the company’s largest operations.
