CRC Group names new president for CRC Benefits
CRC Benefits has hired Andrew Frend as its next president. He will work alongside current president Bob Love through the end of the year and take over on January 1, 2026. Love will move into the role of chairman.
Frend will lead strategy, sales, and operations across CRC’s wholesale employee benefits business. He joins at a time when the division is growing and recently rebranded under the CRC Benefits name to align with CRC Group’s broader market approach.
The move follows continued investment in the benefits unit as CRC looks to strengthen its position with retail agencies and carrier partners.
“We’re grateful to Bob for his leadership in shaping CRC Benefits and positioning us for what’s ahead. Our focus on relationships and execution remains unchanged as Andrew helps lead CRC Benefits into our next chapter as a one-stop shop for our retail partners and their clients. We’re excited and confident about the future.” – Neil Kessler, CEO of CRC Specialty + Benefits.
