Job Function: Stephen currently manages the Southern, Western and Central Regions in Global Business Underwriting, which focuses on providing insurance solutions for global clients of Tokio Marine. A significant portion of his responsibilities includes managing an Underwriting team in Plano, TX dedicated to the Toyota Casualty program in the U.S. This role requires routine collaboration and relationship building with the Toyota Risk Management team as Toyota transitions from vehicle manufacturing to becoming a multi-faceted mobility provider. Working closely together and coordinating with other internal departments is essential in order to provide superior service and position TMA as trusted advisors in this critical relationship. Goals for Next Generation Leadership Program: Stephen’s main goal in participating in the NextGen program is to develop enhanced leadership skills that will enable him to become a stronger, more self-aware, emotionally intelligent leader within TMA. Hobbies/Interests/Personal information: Stephen is a first generation American and was born in Chicago where he lived until moving to Texas 4 years ago. Stephen and his wife and I have been married 25 years and his family consists of four children between 17 and 22 and we also have two dogs. Stephen and his wife are currently focused on transitioning their kids to their next phase, whether launching a career or preparing for college. They very much enjoy taking family vacations, especially to Europe where they have many relatives. Their trips included visits to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Japan. Stephen and his wife also enjoy spending time outdoors and have memberships with the Chicago and Dallas Botanic Gardens. They also appreciate good wines and are members at a local winery in North Texas. They most definitely enjoyed their visit to Tuscany two years ago and are already planning their first post COVID trip!
