McConkey Insurance & Benefits has named Michael Harter president and CEO/principal.
With more than 15 years at McConkey and nearly 30 years of experience in the insurance industry, Harter assumed his new position on January 1.
He previously served as executive vice president/principal. Since 2007, Harter’s role at McConkey had centered around servicing a sizable client portfolio and providing strategic leadership as the company grew.
He was a multi-line claims representative focusing on automobile, general liability, property and workers’ compensation insurance before joining the York-based company, which describes itself as “a leading provider of financial security and risk management solutions to businesses around the globe.”
“Mike is the right leader for McConkey,” Chairman of the Board Steve Buterbaugh said in a release. “I’m confident Mike’s extensive background will support our goals of continuing to strengthen business and community partnerships, provide innovative solutions to our clients and expand McConkey’s presence.”
“I’m looking forward to keeping the traditions of the firm while expanding our product service offerings to clients,” Harter said. “Our model of noncommissioned consultants and executives providing a consultative approach is the reason I joined the firm and the reason we are able to continue providing top tier personnel and service to our clients.”
