Vista Opens Dallas Office

San Antonio-based wholesale insurance broker, Vista Insurance Partners, announced the opening of an office in Dallas, Texas.

Through the Dallas office, Vista will be able to extend its brokerage expertise, underwriting capabilities and specialized insurance programs to large independent insurance agencies throughout the Southwest.

“The Dallas office will have the expertise to handle complex property and casualty placements for companies with nationwide risks,” said James H. Levine, president and CEO of Vista Insurance Partners. “With the turbulence in the commercial insurance markets, independent agents need an innovative broker that can solve problems for their customers that have specialized needs.”

Leading the Dallas office is vice president Lisa Ryan, a 14-year veteran in the commercial insurance business who joins Vista after serving as assistant vice president for MacLean, Oddy & Associates. Previously she held positions with Summit Global Partners, Larry Allen Insurance Agency, MacMeekin Risk Management and Star Trading & Marine.

“By setting very high standards for brokerage and underwriting expertise, capabilities and service, Vista is becoming recognized by independent insurance agents as the preeminent insurance wholesaler in the U.S.,” said Ryan. “We partner with select agents to help them with renewals and the production of new business.”

The company will be selecting office space in Dallas with an eye towards growth.

“Serving large accounts is an important and growing segment of our business, and we will begin hiring in Dallas immediately,” said Levine. “Whether it’s standard coverage or specialized programs, we will be able to meet virtually every business need from this location.”
