Allied Insurance Brokers, a retail property casualty insurance company, has named Jeff McGeary president. McGeary will also be responsible for Allied’s underwriting and wholesale division known as Ascinsure Specialty Risk.
Company founder and now former president Marty O’Brien, moves into the newly created position of chairman and CEO. O’Brian founded Allied in 1982 and is a recognized leader in the niche program insurance industry and well known in the equipment rental industry.
Allied covers the equipment rental, crane, party goods, concrete pumping, scaffold, wood products, and health and human services industries.
McGeary has been with Allied for more than 25 years, most recently as executive vice president and head of retail sales. McGeary is also a shareholder of Allied and a member of its board of directors.
“As chairman and CEO, I will still be overseeing Allied’s overall operations and goals,” said O’Brien. “Having Jeff as president takes some big responsibilities off my plate and allows me to better focus on other areas as we keep expanding. Jeff has helped make us the strong and innovative company we are today, and I’m confident that under his leadership the company will continue to thrive in this competitive environment.”
Allied Insurance Brokers is based in Pittsburgh.
