Brian Klein
Senior Vice President – Group Operations
Mr. Klein provides administration and management oversight of the Property & Casualty (business insurance and personal insurance lines), Sales and Benefits departments for all insurance agency offices in the VTC Insurance Group. He is charged with development and implementation of corporate strategy and goals.
Mr. Klein brings over 22 years of property and casualty experience to his roles at VTC, providing extensive guidance and leadership in sales and underwriting.
“My goal is simple,” says Mr. Klein. “To ensure that our people are in the best position possible to be successful in their jobs and creating positive outcomes for our customers, which allows them to focus on achieving their individual or business goals.”
He began his career with The Hartford in 1995 as a commercial services representative in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He then moved to the company’s New Jersey operations as a middle market sales underwriter, then to the Connecticut field operations management team as an assistant director for middle market. He continued to take on greater responsibilities, including affinity program manager for the Washington, D.C, Region, and middle market manager in the Richmond, Virginia, office.
Shortly thereafter, he was named Regional Vice President for The Hartford’s Detroit office where he led their Michigan business insurance operation for five years. In that capacity, he served as a board member on both the Michigan Basic Property Insurance Association and the Michigan Workers’ Compensation Placement Facility.
Prior to joining VTC, Mr. Klein was Regional Vice President of The Hartford’s Southwest Region, responsible for North Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Central Michigan University and is a Certified Insurance Counselor. Mr. Klein enjoys time with family and friends – including coaching his children's’ baseball and soccer games – and enjoying a good bottle of wine with his wife.
