“I am extremely pleased that Brian has agreed to step into a leadership role with the company,” said J.T. Fitzgerald, President and CEO of Kingsway Financial Services, Inc. (“Kingsway”), the Company’s parent organization. “Brian brings with him a proven leadership track record and a deep understanding of the industry in which we operate. He is uniquely qualified to lead the business in its next phase of growth, and I could not be more excited to welcome him to the Kingsway family of companies.
