Milwaukee-based Assurant Health, a leading national provider of Individual Medical, Small Group and Specialty health insurance products, has announced two changes to the company’s sales leadership. Laura Hohing’s title has been changed to Senior Vice President, Executive Sales Officer. This change reflects her role’s new, broader focus on the company’s sales organization, as well as the increase in her scope of responsibility.
In addition, Mike Norderhaug has been named Senior Vice President – Sales Strategy and Sales Support. In this expanded role, Norderhaug will provide strategic direction across all Assurant Health distribution channels and envision and develop new strategies to grow and maximize all Assurant Health products. He will also be responsible for providing strategic direction to the Sales Technology and Sales Support departments.
Norderhaug has held various sales executive roles at Assurant Health over the past 17 years. Most recently, he led sales strategy for the company’s partnership with its many national accounts, as well as overseeing the development of additional enhancements to Assurant Health’s technology innovations that support the independent agents who market the company’s products nationwide. Norderhaug has earned the CLU and ChFC insurance industry designations.
“This is an exciting time for Assurant Health and for the thousands of agents who sell our products, as we continue to offer them cutting-edge technology, marketing support and a comprehensive product portfolio,” said Hohing. “Mike brings both tested experience and fresh ideas to this role, which is a great benefit to our agents.”
