WFG brings on new COO to grow its support division

WFG National Title Insurance Company (WFG) has announced a new addition to its executive team to support the expansion of its National Title Services (NTS) support unit.

The company has appointed Kevin Beach as the new chief operating officer for NTS and senior vice president for WFG. In these roles, Beach will focus on building infrastructure to support WFG’s growth into agent markets across the country.

The NTS division delivers  support to WFG's direct underwriting operations and its nationwide agency operations. As part of the expansion, WFG said it would "refine company-wide production system, continue to streamline operations and improve process efficiency to get more done with less resources."

"I am excited about this move to strengthen all phases of NTS, including technology, vendor management, and operations,” said Lynn Riedel, executive vice president of WFG NTIC. “I am also thrilled to have Kevin on board to help accelerate expansion of our agency production services into all key markets. His decades of industry experience will be invaluable in this effort."

Beach, who has four decades of operational experience, joined WFG from Title Information Associates, the management and business consulting firm he founded in 2010. Before that, he held executive and senior operational roles at Altisource Portfolio Solutions, Stewart Title, NextAce, Property Insight, and more.

"I've worked with Pat Stone and Joe McCabe previously, and I find their team to be the best in the industry," Beach said. "Compared to competitors with numerous channels and production avenues, WFG has built an enterprise-wide solution that can focus on the unique propositions and values of the different businesses – whether it's WFG lender services, direct operations, agency operations, or others. This really gives us scalability and the capability to grow and surpass other companies in our space."
