Woodruff Sawyer Adds New Members To Portland Office

Woodruff Sawyer has hired six professionals who will join the firm’s office in Portland, OR.

The six are Ronan Eggleston, appointed senior VP of management liability; Jeff Friesen, senior VP of property and casualty; Dan Schaller, senior VP of P&C; Cindy Jarrett, client manager; Megan Douglas, client manager; and Sandra Suter, client manager.

A release explained that Eggleston, Friesen, and Schaller together have broad backgrounds in manufacturing, technology, construction and financial institutions. The team also boasts more than 30 years of experience working in the Pacific Northwest region, and they bring with them strong long-term relationships within the CFO and risk management community.

“Woodruff Sawyer’s “client-first” approach is completely in line with our personal values, and it’s a perfect fit with the business we want to do,” commented Ronan Eggleston on his appointment.

“Our team has been working together for years, and is well known within the Portland underwriting community so it was vital to go to Woodruff Sawyer together and maintain continuity for our clients,” added Dan Schaller.

According to Woodruff Sawyer SVP and NW practice leader Brett Bauer, there are not a lot of individuals who have the same level of knowledge and expertise as the three and the rest of their team.

“The addition of Dan, Jeff, Ronan, and their team expands our presence, resources, and solutions for our clients in Oregon and southwest Washington,” Bauer continued. “Their expertise is a huge compliment for Woodruff Sawyer.”
