Louisville, Kentucky. XYZ Limited, one of the largest commercial insurers in the nation, welcomes Bob Wallace as the new Vice President of Finance. Wallace was the Chief Financial Officer at National Insurance and brings 25 years of experience to XYZ, starting on March 8.

“Bob brings with him a skill set that is almost unparalleled in today's insurance market,” said XYZ CEO Janet Smith. “With his extensive connections in the industry and his acumen for financial strategy, we believe that Bob will help us to position ourselves as the premier business insurer in the nation.”

While at National Insurance, Wallace helped to form over 200 partnerships with insurance brokers, increased annual revenue by 20%, and was named the 2016 Insurance Industry "Pioneer of the Year".

“This is a new chapter for me,” said Wallace. “I like where XYZ is headed, and I think that there is a bright future ahead.”

Wallace received an MBA from The Warden School of Business in 1986. Outside of his professional life, he is also interested in college sports and global travel.
