Grange Insurance Company has announced the appointment of Ryan Michel as its chief property and casualty officer. Michel brings more than 20 years of experience in the insurance industry to the role.
Michel most recently served as president and chief underwriting officer at Trusted Resource Underwriters. Prior to that, he spent over two decades with Allstate Insurance in executive leadership positions, including President of Allstate Business Insurance, where he oversaw $1 billion in commercial premiums.
He also spent 11 years in Canada, holding positions as chief risk officer and later as president and chief executive of the Allstate Canada group of companies. During his tenure, Allstate Canada saw a 50% increase in premium, reaching over $2.4 billion, while maintaining consistent profitability across various distribution channels.
“I am excited to have Ryan join our organization in the newly created role of Chief Property and Casualty Officer,” said Grange Insurance president and chief executive officer John Ammendola. “With his proven track record of industry-leading profitability and his people-first leadership style, I am confident he will contribute greatly to our continued financial strength and stability.”
Michel’s appointment follows a series of recent leadership changes. Last month, the company promoted Mike Hickman to vice president, national underwriting and business operations. In November, Nicole Carter’s role as vice president, PL sales and strategic distribution was expanded. Carter has been with Grange Insurance Company since 2022.
In February, Holly Benson and Phil Davis were also appointed to the company’s board.
