Bio
Scott Pollard
Tony brings a breadth of experience in a variety of roles. Tony has delivered significant value as a member of the Home Office staff as well as in his multiple positions in region leadership. The wealth of commercial knowledge Tony possesses has been complemented by his growth managing personal lines production. Tony exhibits a seriousness of purpose while simultaneously bringing a human side to his multiple roles. His track record is filled with examples of developing highly successful teams that generated meaningful results. I consider myself fortunate in having been a peer of Tony's. He was a trusted colleague and a willing resource of information and perspective. I truly enjoyed my time working with Tony and would jump at the opportunity to do so again.
Joseph Rupp, MBA
Energetic, smart, insightful and extensively knowledgable. I worked with and around Tony for several years and I enjoyed it. The highest compliment I can pay him is that if you needed advice on a range of topics, he would be among the first to call. He has deep expertise in commercial underwriting, sales and marketing. Most importantly, he works extremely well with people. He can tap into the mood and attitude of those he works with and actively make it better. He is a terrific leader who will face the stoutest of challenges head on. And, he is a phenomenal team mate.
