PMA Companies Names Santulli President, Chief Operating Officer

PMA Companies, part of the Old Republic General Insurance Group, has appointed John Santulli as president and chief operating officer. He will be responsible for leading the operations of the Blue Bell, Pa.-based PMA Companies Insurance and third party administrator (TPA) business segments.

Santulli started his insurance career in 1977 and joined PMA in 1982. He most recently served as executive vice president of Risk Services and Sales, leading the service functions of Claims, Risk Control, Managed Care, Client Services, Information Technology, and TPA Services. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Large Account and Risk Management Insurance operating units years ago, and led the launch of PMA Management Corp. as the PMA Companies entered the TPA business.

“As we continue to expand our geographic footprint, grow our various business segments, and address ever increasing marketplace and regulatory complexities, John is extremely well prepared to assume this important new role. He will provide senior leadership in the management of day-to-day operations as we ensure that our strategic plans remain aligned with our long-term vision and objectives,” said Vincent T. Donnelly, chief executive officer of PMA Companies.
