EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants has added three new members to its southwest risk management practice.

The firm has appointed Raylene Chiarizzio, Aaron Schwen, and Aaron Zetterower as, respectively, senior vice-president, client advocate, and principal of the regional practice group.

The appointments come after EPIC named David Thoke as managing principal of the southwest risk management practice days ago.

Chiarizzio will be based in Los Angeles, CA and report to EPIC southwest region president KJ Wagner. She will be responsible for complex program design, placement and management of property and casualty insurance programs, providing risk management strategies and solutions for mid-market and large clients. Chiarizzio joins from Willis Towers Watson.

Schwen will be based in Dallas, TX and will also report to Wagner. He is responsible for new business development, as well as the design, placement and management of P&C insurance programs. Schwen most recently served as charter school practice leader for AssuredPartners.

Zetterower will also be based in Dallas and will similarly report to Wagner. He is also in charge of new business development in the region. He will help provide risk management strategies and solutions to mid-market and large clients. Just like Schwen, Zetterower joins from AssuredPartners where he served as vice-president.

“We are thrilled to continue the growth of our Property & Casualty operation in the Southwest Region,” commented EPIC southwest region president KJ Wagner on the appointments.
