Among the key priorities for James will be to continue the momentum of IRG’s growth over the last decade, including the growth of Insurance Subrogation Group (ISG), an IRG division.

“Subrogation is one of the firm’s core strengths,” James said. “I see significant opportunities to expand subrogation services and capabilities to insurers, reinsurers, self-insurers, insurance syndicates, third-party administrators, managing general agents, captives and independent adjustment companies.”

James brings more than 25 years of industry experience to his new role. Most recently, he served as assistant vice president at Hanover Group. He was also an owner, president and sales director at Massachusetts-based Steffon, James and Finnegan Insurance Agency.
