NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.

"Matt brings a unique perspective to this role," noted Katie Vespia, Managing Vice President at Distinguished.

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.
