Anne Arvia was recently named President and COO of Nationwide Direct, Affinity and Growth Solutions, giving her oversight of the Columbus, Ohio-based company's direct P&C sales channel, along with responsibility for specialty-insurance affinity partnerships and Veterinary Pet insurance.

Why move from the financial-services side of the business to property and casualty?
Nationwide is dominated by property and casualty. As a leader in the organization, planning to be here a long time, one of the pieces of background I did not have experience in was property and casualty. This is a terrific way for me to broaden my knowledge in this space and gain more leadership opportunities.
