Western region property and casualty insurer Capital Insurance Group has hired Arnold Chatterton as president and CEO.
Chatterton’s hire follows the retirement of Peter Cazzolla, who is stepping down from his leadership role after 21 years. He will stay on in an advisory role.
Chatterton has 30 years of experience in property and casualty insurance. He began in frontline and underwriting positions before moving to management and senior office assignments.
"It has always been my hope and ambition to lead a regional insurance organisation like CIG," said Chatterton.
Cazzolla also commented on the hire: “Chatterton brings a wealth of experience, knowledge and outstanding leadership skills to his new role.”
“I look forward to building on the solid business reputation that has been established by our people, our partners, and Cazzolla." added Chatterton.
Capital Insurance Group writes more than $400 million in premium and $300 million in policyholder surplus, and has operations in California, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and New Mexico. It also offers non-admitted and captive alternatives.
