Carol Sipe has been named senior vice president and general manager of operations for Summit, a provider of workers’ compensation insurance services in the Southeast. The new position is part of a reorganization designed to help the firm continue to grow in the challenging workers’ compensation industry.
Sipe will be responsible for the claims, loss control, premium audit, policy administration, information technology and facilities departments.
“This new organizational strategy will enhance our ability to continue to grow successfully,” Rick Hodges, Summit’s president and CEO, said. “Sipe knows our organization, our people and our potential from the inside out and has a proven track record of success.”
Sipe, a Lakeland, Fla., native, joined Summit in 1989. She moved up through the company and served as the director of operations in Claims until 1999, when she became vice president of operations.
Summit, which includes Summit Consulting, Inc., and Summit Holding Southeast Inc., and their affiliates, is based in Lakeland, Fla., and has offices in Baton Rouge, La., and Gainesville, Ga. It is part of Liberty Mutual Agency Markets, a business unit of Liberty Mutual Group, which consists of property and casualty, and specialty insurance carriers that distribute their products and services primarily through independent agents and brokers.
