State Auto Insurance Cos. has hired the former executive of a California insurer to lead its claims operation.
The Columbus-based insurer said Wednesday that Stephen Hunckler has stepped in as chief claims officer. Hunckler is the former executive vice president and claims chief for Balboa Insurance Group of Irvine, Calif., and has more than 30 years experience in the business.
He replaces John Melvin, who announced plans for retirement this year and is staying on through the transition through early next year, spokesman Kyle Anderson said.
State Auto said Hunckler has a background in working to turn around underperforming regions and claims organizations and integrate acquisitions. The company last year closed a deal to buy Kansas City, Mo.-based Rockhill Insurance Group and a number of its subsidiaries.
“We’re fortunate to have someone of Steve’s experience and success leading our claims organization, which fulfills the promise we make to our independent agents, insureds and claimants every day,” Chief Operating Officer Mark Blackburn said in a release.State Auto Insurance Cos. has hired the former executive of a California insurer to lead its claims operation.
