CRC Group, a prominent wholesale specialty insurance distributor in North America, has announced the addition of two new professionals to its team.

Gino Franco (pictured above left) has joined the company’s Denver office as a broker. With over 15 years of experience in the insurance industry, Franco most recently worked as a senior underwriter. In his previous role, he specialized in cyber and tech errors and omissions products for large revenue accounts at a cyber insurance firm, a news release highlighted.

In addition, Luke Redd (pictured above right) has been appointed as a property broker in CRC’s Chicago office. Redd brings nearly a decade of industry expertise, having most recently served as vice president at a leading insurance brokerage.

These new appointments are part of CRC Group’s strategic initiative to expand its capabilities and better serve retail agency clients across the nation.

The announcement follows notable hires over the past four weeks, including the appointment of a new executive vice president for life sciences. The firm also made significant moves in 2024 as part of its expansion plans, including the purchase of SLB Insurance Group.
