PMIC’s current CEO, Christopher Taft, will be retiring but will become the chairman of the company’s board of directors. In that role, Taft replaces Robert Wadsworth, who will continue to support PMIC as a member of the board.
“As we position PMIC for its next chapter, we’ve identified an opportunity to strengthen our corporate structure by promoting two individuals who will lead PMIC into the future,” said Taft. “My new role as chairman of the board will allow me an opportunity to continue to focus on shaping the culture and strategic direction of PMIC in partnership with our leadership team.”
Sander, who joined PMIC in June 2019, has been serving as EVP, insurance operations, and has more than 20 years of leadership experience in the insurance industry. In his time at PMIC, he has supported strategies to improve company growth and profitability as well as initiatives that “foster strong relationships” with employees, agents and business partners.
Lopata, who has been serving as EVP, chief strategy officer, has worked on PMIC’s strategic-planning initiatives across several key areas of the company during his 17-year tenure. Those areas include information technology, enterprise project management, and the development of many business strategies and services.
