California insurance agency Woodruff-Sawyer & Co. has acquired the Western region direct practice of Carpenter Moore from NASDAQ OMX Group Inc., according to the company.

The Western region direct practice, based in San Francisco,
encompasses its established directors and officers insurance business with more than 60 clients based primarily on the West Coast. This combination of Woodruff-Sawyer and the Western region practice does not include Carpenter Moore’s Eastern region practice, based in New York.

Lauri Floresca and Norman Allen, who joined Woodruff-Sawyer last month, the release said.

Miner has nearly 20 years of industry experience. Most recently she was vice chairman of Carpenter Moore where she focused on client service and new business development. Prior to Carpenter Moore she worked in Intel’s R+D division, and later as a product manager for BioRad Laboratories, Inc.
