Donegal Insurance Group, an insurance holding company whose subsidiaries and affiliates offer commercial and personal property and casualty lines of insurance, recently announced that Dan DeLamater will be the next executive vice president and chief operating officer, effective this month.
In his new role, DeLamater will oversee various divisions of the company including claims, enterprise analytics, field operations & national accounts, human resources, internal audit and risk, investments, and legal.
DeLamater replaces Kevin Burke as COO. Burke is now president and CEO.
“As our organization continues to grow and we implement new products, systems, and processes to support our future state, it was time to fill the Chief Operating Officer role to support these initiatives,” Burke said. “Dan has done an exceptional job of overseeing Field Operations and National Accounts. His prior underwriting experience, matched with his knowledge of field operations and administration, makes him the ideal candidate for this important role. Dan and I share a common vision and success path for the Donegal organization, and I look forward to what we can achieve together as a team.”
Noland Deas will succeed DeLamater as senior vice president of field operations and national accounts.
Donegal Group operates in 23 states.
