CHARLOTTE – McGriff announced today that it has promoted industry veteran Mike Breedlove to National Sales and Growth Leader. In this new role, Mike will set the strategy for overall sales activities across the firm’s commercial lines of business, including property and casualty, group benefits, surety, and its Executive Risk Advisors division.

Since its launch in 2019, Young Performers has grown to a group of nearly 150 commercial and employee benefits producers and has sustained double-digit growth annually.

“Mike is a proven leader with a demonstrated passion for sales, and a natural ability to inspire success and drive transformation with sales professionals at all levels” said Doug Hodo, president of specialty and middle market for McGriff. “We are confident that he will apply this expertise across all of our platforms, supporting McGriff’s sales-driven culture.”
