San Francisco – August 24, 2023 — Newfront, the tech-driven insurance brokerage based in San Francisco, welcomes David Schawe to its rapidly expanding team as the Ohio and Kentucky Market Leader. Schawe, named a Top Producer by Insurance Business America, joins with nearly two decades of risk-management experience.

“David is an accomplished leader with proven results in partnering with clients for success,” said Newfront CEO and Co-Founder Spike Lipkin. “David’s leadership in the Ohio and Kentucky markets will enable us to deliver risk-management innovation in even more locations.”
