CAC Specialty hires real estate practice leader

Integrated specialty insurance brokerage CAC Specialty has hired Chelley Schaper as its newest senior vice president.

Schaper will assist CAC Specialty in the continued building of its property and casualty business, which will include her leadership of its real estate initiatives. Her 20-plus years of experience include 16 years at Lockton working with complex risk accounts, with a specialization in the real estate industry.

Most recently, Schaper founded a technology platform for the health and wellbeing company, ActiveSoul, where she served as CEO.
"I am thrilled to join some of the best minds in the industry to build a new type of broker,” Schaper said. “CAC's commitment to technology to improve client service, coupled with its access to both the insurance and alternative risk capital solutions for clients, made it an easy decision to join the team.”

CAC Specialty said that with the increasing complexities involved in placing complicated property and casualty risk, it is committed to finding new ways of thinking about risk transfer.

“CAC is committed to specializing by product and industry, allowing us to bring deep insight to our clients,” said president Bruce Denson Jr. “Real Estate is an area of very complicated risk issues, and we feel like we can make a major impact in our clients’ businesses; we are happy to add Chelley to the team to lead that effort.”
