Allen Lund Co. promotes GM to senior director of carrier development

La Cañada Flintridge, Calif.-based Allen Lund Co. has promoted Matt Minthorn to senior director of carrier development.

In the role, Minthorn will focus on the carrier side of ALC's business, overseeing activities related to carrier relations, compliance, and fraud prevention, according to a news release. Minthorn will report to Lenny Sciarappa, vice president of sales and operations, the company said.

Before the promotion, Minthorn served as the general manager of ALC Phoenix for 12 years. In his time there, the Phoenix team performed as a top office, consistently in the running for the Gear Up award, an internal company accolade, according to the release.

"I am extremely excited to assume this newly created role at ALC and look forward to uniting the three carrier-facing teams of Carrier Resources, Claims and Carrier Sales & Development under one umbrella,” Minthorn said in the release. “Carriers are vital to our successes and my goal is to create consistent, positive carrier interactions at every level. I’d like to thank the Executive Team and all those that put trust in me to execute this important new role.” 

Sciarappa congratulated Minthorn on his promotion.

“Matt has continually grown throughout his 21 years with ALC, beginning his career as a broker, being promoted to assistant general manager in the Boston office, and then becoming the general manager of our Phoenix office,” Sciarappa said in the release. “Matt brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the position, and I’m confident in his ability to succeed. I look forward to working with Matt as he develops the Carrier Sales department and combines the efforts of the Carrier Resources department and the Claims department to provide our offices with the best carriers available in our industry.”
