MagMutual Names Jesse Lyons as Regional Vice President for Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee

• improved ability to deliver service at the local level;
• closer alignment of Sales, Claims, Underwriting and Risk Management/Patient Safety departments;
• greater presence, knowledge and influence with respect to each state’s medical community, legislative environment, and legal and regulatory communities.
  

Lyons most recently was president of MagMutual subsidiary Select Professional Underwriters, where his responsibilities included broad oversight of the company’s independent agent relationships. In a continuation of that role, he will now chair a newly created cross functional resource team that will work with all of MagMutual’s regional vice presidents to support the company’s independent agents in growing their book of business.

Prior to joining MagMutual, Lyons held positions of increasing responsibility with Medicus in Austin, Texas, and Potter Holden in Atlanta. He holds a master of business administration degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic University and a bachelor of science degree from the University of Southwestern Louisiana.

“As the leading provider of medical malpractice insurance based in the Southeast, MagMutual serves doctors and hospitals throughout Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee. It is therefore only natural that we would continue to refine our ability to provide superior products and service in those states,” said Neil Morrell, president of MagMutual. “Jesse’s extensive experience in the healthcare and liability insurance industries make him uniquely qualified to lead those efforts. He will be charged with creating strategic alliances, retaining and developing client relationships and leveraging our leading malpractice coverage and other product offerings to the benefit of our policyholder-owners in these states.”
