McLarens, the global loss adjuster with a niche focus on commercial claims, has announced a number of changes to its global and USA leadership teams as part of a restructure aimed at providing better operational management across the business. Among the changes, McLarens stalwart Gary Brown has been promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of McLarens Global Limited. Steve Whitmarsh will assume the Regional Manager role of the USA and Canada; George Wasielke becomes Eastern Regional Manager of the USA. In addition to improving operational management, the changes will free CEO and Chairman of the Board Vern Chalfant to focus on strategy, acquisitions and global initiatives.
