Move takes effect in July.
Hagerty has appointed Jeff Briglia (pictured) as president of insurance with oversight across all facets of the firm’s insurance operations.
“I’m excited to join Hagerty’s high-performing leadership team as the company delivers strong rates of top- and bottom-line growth,” said Briglia, whose appointment takes effect on July 1. “Hagerty has built the best brand in the insurance world by delivering quality products and services to millions of automotive enthusiasts.
“I look forward to helping the company further improve the direct-to-consumer business while laying the groundwork for future opportunities that will power Hagerty’s growth over the next decade.”
Spanning 22 years of experience in the insurance sector, Briglia’s credentials include time spent as president and chief executive of Plymouth Rock Assurance’s Direct and Partner Group, chief operating officer and chief insurance officer at Metromile Insurance, as well as significant stints at Progressive, Allstate, and Mercury Insurance.
McKeel Hagerty, chairman and chief executive officer of Hagerty, said, “I’m happy to welcome Jeff to the Hagerty team as we continue to position the company for sustained profit growth.”
“Jeff has demonstrated success in managing strategic changes in a range of company domains, such as product, claims, distribution, marketing, sales, and customer support. We will be able to find ways to provide members with more value thanks to his leadership and experience.
Hagerty bounced back in the first quarter of 2023, going from a net loss of almost $15 million to about $8.2 million in net income this year. This appointment follows this.
The CEO of the company stated in May that “we are off to a great start in 2024 as the initiatives undertaken in 2023 powered through.”
