Beecher Carlson names new CEO, COO

Beecher Carlson Insurance Services, the specialised large account subsidiary of Brown & Brown, has promoted Joseph Siech to chief executive officer and Scott Davis to chief operating officer.

Siech assumes the role from Steve Denton, who has departed the company to pursue other opportunities.

Siech began his career as a property underwriter for Arkwright Mutual and advanced by developing and servicing a large book of risk management clients for Hobbs Group, which later became HRH in 2002. He was recruited by Beecher Carlson in 2005.

Davis will oversee operational functions in the newly created COO role. He will also continue as president, casualty & property.

Prior to his 13-year tenure at Beecher Carlson, Davis worked with Willis of Tennessee as senior vice president and team leader. His experience also includes serving as president and CEO of Lockton-TN prior to selling that entity in 1997.

“Joe and Scott have been key members of the Beecher Carlson leadership team for more than 13 years,” executive chairman Dan Donovan commented. “They have long held the respect of their teammates, their clients, and our business partners. Our culture is the crown of our success, and I know our culture will thrive under Joe and Scott’s leadership.”

Siech said: “We have some of the greatest talent in the industry. My job is simple: continue to work with our existing leadership team to determine what their teams need to best service their clients and then figure out a way to make that happen.”

Davis added: “I’m very excited to work with the leadership team to discover ways to increase operational efficiencies by reducing complexity while enhancing value for our clients and teammates. We take pride in making every client experience meaningful and will be refocusing our efforts on creating innovation solutions for them.”
