The Liberty Company Insurance Brokers has announced the appointment of Jamie Ausec (pictured) to its Liberty Orange County office in Irvine, Calif. Ausec will be “a driving force for employee benefits,” the company said.

Ausec has 16 years of industry experience. She most recently served as a founding principal at Newfront Insurance, and has also held positions at ADP and Alliant. Ausec has built up plenty of niche experience with multi-site restaurants, manufacturing, and hospitality groups, The Liberty Company said.

“I have known Jamie for many years, and we are so excited to have such a knowledgeable, hardworking benefits expert join the team here in Irvine,” said Gary Wells, managing partner of Liberty Orange County. “We have no doubt she will fit right in with our company culture, and look forward to the great things a professional like Jamie will bring to the table for our clients.”
