Distinguished Programs (“Distinguished”), a national insurance program manager, today officially reveals the appointment of Matt Walters to Business Development Manager. His new role will support Distinguished’s Builder’s Risk, City Insurance, New York Brick & Brownstone, and Vacant Building products.
Walters recently served as Underwriting Manager in the Small Urban & Transitional Real Estate Division where he led the underwriting team and built a profitable book of business. In this newly created role, Walters will be responsible for developing agent relationships, helping them build their book, and acting as an additional resource for brokers.
“Matt brings a unique perspective to this role,” noted Katie Vespia, Managing Vice President at Distinguished. “Having worked exclusively with Real Estate products for a few years, he understands both the brokers’ pain points and underwriting factors that might slow down the process. In addition, Matt’s interaction with new and existing brokers will give us a better understanding of their insurance needs that we can implement in future program enhancements.”
Walters joined Distinguished Programs in 2019, bringing 18 years of experience in underwriting and leadership roles. Prior to this, Matt led underwriting teams at All Risks, LTD, and NSM Insurance Group. Matt holds the following designations: CPCU, ARM, AU, AIS, and AINS. He received his BS in Business Administration, Marketing, and Economics from the University of Delaware.
