Newly appointed chief portfolio officer Brandon Schall will focus on long-term growth and relationships across the diversified $7.9+ billion GWP platform
SAN DIEGO, April 1, 2026 – Arrowhead Programs, a division of Arrowhead Intermediaries, today announces the creation of a new dedicated leadership capability designed to steer portfolio-level strategy, ensuring alignment between insurance carrier appetite, portfolio performance and long-term growth objectives. The new function will be led by chief portfolio officer Brandon Schall, who will shape and manage the strategic priorities across Arrowhead Programs’ portfolio with a strong focus on delivering value to carrier partners.
“With the breadth and depth of our portfolio and our global footprint, we have the foundations to take a market-leading platform to the next level. The creation of Brandon’s new leadership role strengthens our ability to innovate, deliver niche solutions and sustain the disciplined underwriting our partners expect.”
Building on Arrowhead Programs’ $7.9+ billion in annual gross written premium placed in 2025 and its highly diversified delegated underwriting authority portfolio, the move is a strategic step to deepen relationships with carrier partners. It also positions Arrowhead Programs to deliver more bespoke solutions to customers across geographies, lines of business and risk profiles. Brandon Schall, based in Dallas, Texas, will partner with leaders across the division to identify trends, prioritize opportunities, accelerate new product development and ensure consistent alignment between carrier appetite and portfolio performance.
Schall brings two decades of experience to the role, including 17 years in progressively senior roles at American Specialty, an Arrowhead Programs MGU, where he led sales with a dual focus on growth and carrier profitability. For the past four years, Schall has served as president of Health Special Risk, an accident and health MGU within Arrowhead Programs. With Schall’s appointment, Health Special Risk will be led by seasoned leaders Jeff Holmes and Chris Lyons who joined Arrowhead Intermediaries through the One80 acquisition.
“Carriers consistently tell us they want to do more with Arrowhead Programs,” said Schall. “My charge is to align the right opportunities and product needs across our portfolio with carrier appetite, help teams develop priority products to take to market and drive growth initiatives for the business.”
“With the breadth and depth of our portfolio and our global footprint, we have the foundations to take a market-leading platform to the next level,” said Tom Kussurelis, president of Arrowhead Programs. “The creation of Brandon’s new leadership role strengthens our ability to innovate, deliver niche solutions and sustain the disciplined underwriting our partners expect.”
