Pitts, Thompson Join Swett & Crawford’s Dallas Offices

Veteran Texas-area insurance brokers, Kari Pitts and Cindy Thompson, joined the Dallas offices of Swett & Crawford, the wholesale insurance broker announced.

Pitts is specialist in financial services exposures and coverages, including professional liability/E&O, directors and officers liability, employment practices liability, crime, fiduciary and patent impairment coverage. She is rejoining the firm, having worked at Swett & Crawford, Dallas, during the late 1990s.

She began her career at Brinker International as a risk manager. Her career includes a stint at AIG as an underwriting manager in the financial services division and a post at Heath, also a wholesale broker.

“Swett & Crawford offers my clients global resources and support,” Pitts said. “The size and strength of the organization and its unmatched access to insurance markets is of special value in this difficult marketplace where capacity is especially restricted.”

Thompson brings 23 years of casualty experience in placing hard-to-place umbrellas, GL, excess workers’ compensation and contractors coverage for clients throughout the region. Prior to joining Swett & Crawford, Thompson was with Old Republic’s Employers’ General Insurance Corp. and its predecessor agency, National General Agency, a unit of Employee’s Casualty Co.

Thompson is interested in focusing on the wholesale side of the business. “Over the years, Swett & Crawford has demonstrated their responsiveness and professionalism, so when the opportunity arose, I just knew they’d be great to work for.”
