New Claims VP at Republic Group
Dallas-based P&C insurer The Republic Group has named appointed Timothy Wiedmeyer its VP of claims.
Wiedmeyer, who began his duties August 6, last was VP of claims for West Bend Mutual Insurance Company. He has also worked at Heritage Mutual Insurance Company (now Acuity).
Wiedmeyer's appointment follows two other high-level changes at Republic this year. Thomas Greenfield was appointed the new head of the company's underwriting department last month, and Joe Mattingly was named CEO in February.
In a statement, Mattingly said of Wiedmeyer, "As a seasoned claims professional, Republic is gaining a leader experienced in strategic and tactical planning/ execution, change leadership, personnel development and process improvement. Tim's regional multi-line experience and his results oriented focus made him an excellent choice for Republic. We are extremely pleased that Tim has joined our management team."
