Four years ago, Chuck Chamness stepped away from his 18-year tenure as president and CEO of the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies. He looked around at the state of the industry he’d long worked for and with, and he saw a mélange of strong businesses facing seemingly insurmountable headwinds: Inflation, catastrophe costs, regulatory uncertainty, public perception problems, and the poky pace of technology adoption all served as fiscal stressors for insurance carriers; particularly smaller, regional, mutual insurance operators.
Chamness now chairs The Mutual Group, an organization designed to infuse mutual insurance companies with capital while shoring up their business efficiencies. In this January 2025 interview, Chamness expands on what he views as pressing issues facing insurance and offers ideas about how to move forward.
