McCrorie will remain RSUI’s Executive Chairman through the first quarter of 2027 to ensure a seamless leadership transition.
McCrorie joined RSUI in 2003 as Chief Financial Officer and has served with distinction at every level of the organization. He was elected to the Board of Directors in 2004, joined the Executive Leadership Team in 2012, was named President in 2019, and has served as Chairman and CEO since 2022.

“After nearly 40 years in the insurance business, the time has come for me to turn the page and start a new chapter of my life. When I joined RSUI in 2003, I didn’t fully appreciate how special a place it was. It has been the greatest privilege of my professional life and the pinnacle of my career to lead RSUI, serve our outstanding employees, both past and present, and work alongside our wholesale broker customers and industry trade association, WSIA, all enabled by our shareowner’s confidence and support.
