Lounsbury started working for NBT-Mang on Monday, the banking company said in an email response to a BJNN inquiry. He assumes the duties that Richard Mirabito previously handled before his retirement.
Lounsbury has 22 years of experience in the insurance industry, NBT-Mang Insurance said. He comes from M&T Insurance Agency, where he was responsible for the northeast commercial-insurance production and service teams.
“His experience in all aspects of the insurance industry make him a strong choice to lead the efforts of our team of professionals at NBT-Mang,” Timothy Brenner, executive VP and president of wealth management at NBT Bancorp, said in a news release. “His commitment to building solid customer relationships and delivering effective insurance solutions to meet the current and future needs of our customers will support and enhance the efforts of our team as we move forward.”
Lounsbury started his career in 1995 as a commercial lines production underwriter and management trainee with Cincinnati, Ohio–based Great American Insurance Company. In 1999, he became an insurance broker and agency owner in Central New York. In 2003, he sold the Lounsbury Insurance Agency to M&T Bank, which served as the hub for M&T Insurance Agency’s Syracuse regional office.
Norwich–based NBT Bancorp Inc. is a financial holding company with total assets of $9.1 billion as of June 30. The company primarily operates through NBT Bank, N.A. and two financial-services companies, including NBT-Mang Insurance Agency and EPIC Advisors, Inc.
