This past fall, PLM made a few key personnel changes as we continue to move our 100-plus-year institution into the future.
As part of an ongoing executive development plan, Steve Firko, formerly senior vice president of field operations, has assumed a new claims leadership position as senior vice president of claims. Steve has proven himself a strong leader on our field operations side and we are looking forward to seeing him excel in our claims division. Our long-time vice president of claims, Fran Santoro will serve as Steve’s mentor to ensure a smooth transition.
Additionally, Thomas Britland has been promoted from claims consultant to property claims manager. In this position, Tom will build on the excellent work he has already done for our claims team and continue to strengthen the division. His experience in property claims and claims reinsurance in particular, will assist company efforts to wisely manage our reinsurance program and cut costs.
Finally, Dave Adams, manager of field operations for the southern region, has been named director of field operations for the southern region based on his outstanding performance during years spent in the field. Before transferring to our Florida territory, Dave worked for us in the Ohio territory for many years.
Everyone at PLM congratulates our colleagues on their promotions.
