Jencap Announces Promotion of Danny Walsh to Personal Lines National Practice Leader

Jan 6, 2025

New York, NY (January 6, 2025) – Jencap Group LLC (Jencap), one of the nation’s largest wholesalers, is pleased to announce Danny Walsh has been promoted to the newly created role of Personal Lines National Practice Leader. Walsh will lead Jencap’s Personal Lines teams nationwide, streamline and create new operational efficiencies, further strengthen its agency and carrier relationships, and maximize its collective expertise in the personal lines space. 

“Danny’s proven track record and deep understanding of the personal lines industry makes him the ideal candidate to consolidate our teams nationwide and drive business to new heights,” stated Mark Maher, President of Jencap.

Walsh began in the wholesale brokerage business more than 25 years ago at a firm started by his grandfather and run by his father. He quickly learned the importance of a strong work ethic and the technical aspects of the insurance business, which helped him work his way up to running the personal lines department in 2013. His team’s partnerships, market access, and expertise have only been enhanced since being acquired by Jencap.

“I have been in this business for 25 years and have seen different market cycles that require different approaches and strategies. I am excited and honored to take that knowledge to the next level in this new role at Jencap,” said Danny Walsh, Personal Lines National Practice Leader at Jencap. “I am looking forward to expanding our team, capabilities and partnerships throughout the country to achieve further success.”
