With a career in surety bonding that spans two decades – and both the underwriting and brokerage sides of the business – Keith W. Newell is well positioned to build Allied North America of Los Angeles into that market’s leading construction insurance brokerage.
As President, Keith is focused on expanding the recently-opened office’s base of construction company clientele, leveraging his solid surety expertise, strong business acumen and unwavering commitment to the industry. With a proven track record for establishing new locations and building high-performance teams, Keith’s clients also benefit from his:
• Service-driven focus and results-driven approach. Keith has maintained a 10-year client retention record of nearly 99 percent, while growing the base an average of 22% annually.
• Valuable “insider’s perspective” into the surety marketplace. With more than 10 years’ experience as an underwriter and manager at leading surety companies, Keith understands the bond market from the inside and brings that knowledge – and those relationships – to his clients.
• Innovative thinking and creative solutions. A professional whose passion is construction, Keith’s experience gives him the innate ability to recognize, and accentuate, a client’s best assets to help maximize their bonding capacity.
Prior to joining Allied in 2007, Keith was a partner at a large insurance brokerage where he founded and managed the surety department ten years earlier. Before that, he worked on the underwriter side of the business for over ten years with national surety leaders Chubb, AIG and finally, Liberty Mutual. Keith is a member of a number of professional organizations, including the National Association of Surety Bond Producers as well as the Associated General Contractors and Southern California Contractors Association. He completed the Executive Management Program at the University of Southern California and holds a bachelors of science degree from Susquehanna University.
