HARRISBURG, Pa., March 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Aegis General Insurance Agency announced today that Mark Gatto has joined the specialty insurance agency as its Northern Region Marketing Director. Gatto comes to Aegis General with a successful track record in leading growth initiatives through a variety of distribution channels for manufactured homes, low-value dwellings and other specialty personal property. Gatto "will be heavily involved with several large national partners as well as the growth and management of distribution efforts in the Northern Region," Aegis General Senior Vice President of Marketing Jeremy Gluck announced today.

"Mark's relationships and knowledge of the specialty personal lines space will help ensure continued success in the growth of this specialty business, which has exceeded that of the insurance industry overall, in spite of a dramatic downturn in the manufacturing housing industry," Aegis General's CEO Bob Kimmel said. "While other companies have avoided this segment, we not only remain committed to it but intend to pursue continued growth in this space."

Gatto's role at Aegis General will include management of the existing Northern Region, including responsibility for current distribution through general agents and the expansion of Aegis General's agency base in the Northern Region.

Gatto most recently was Vice President of National Accounts for American Modern, where he was responsible for similar specialty insurance business nationally. Prior to American Modern, Gatto maintained similar positions with Markel American, Northland and Foremost.
