Insurors Indemnity appoints new CEO

Texas-based Insurors Indemnity Companies, which specialises in surety and commercial property/casualty insurance for midsize and smaller businesses, has appointed a new chief executive.

Dave Talbert has been named as the company’s president and chief executive officer. He succeeds Tom Chase, who will remain board chairman and become the company’s chief governance officer.

Talbert joined Insurors Indemnity in February 2014. He was previously president and CEO of Hochheim Prairie Insurance.

Chase founded Insurors Indemnity in 1984 in response to what he felt was a lack of attention to the needs of independent agents. He secured an A-minus (Excellent) AM Best rating and a reinsurance relationship with General Reinsurance, part of the Berkshire Hathaway group.
