EPIC Realigns Leadership With O’Neil as President; Creates New Regional Lineup
EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants announced organizational and restructuring changes across the company.
Tom O’Neil has been named president of EPIC and will work directly with CEO Steve Denton to grow the business across its entire platform – from Private Client to Large Complex Risk in both Property & Casualty and Employee Benefits. O’Neil previously led the West and Northeast regions and integrated several large acquisitions that expanded the overall footprint of EPIC.
EPIC has more than 2,600 employees in 80 offices across the U.S. Main offices are in San Francisco and Atlanta.
In conjunction with leadership changes, the company is being restructured into three regions: Northeast, Midwest/Southeast and West.
“These decisions showcase careful succession planning and leadership depth across EPIC,” said Denton. “Further, they provide the best structure for innovation and continued growth, and delivery of all of our capabilities to our clients.”
