Ray Mazzotta joined BWC as Chief Operating Officer in February 2008. He has more than 30 years experience in the Property and Casualty insurance industry and has demonstrated leadership, innovation and performance as he has managed companies and operations with over 250 employees and underwriting volumes in excess of $300 million. At BWC, he will oversee the agency’s Fiscal and Planning, Customer Services, Medical Services, and Infrastructure and Technology divisions.

Ray served as the president and CEO of OHIC Insurance Company, Columbus, from 2000 to January 2007. He was responsible for the creation and implementation of a strategic plan that resulted in the dramatic turnaround of the Company’s precarious financial condition. Ray’s leadership held the management team together and forged strong stakeholder relationships that enabled OHIC to reverse its negative financial position, stabilize its loss reserves and nearly double its net worth.

Before joining OHIC, Ray had a successful 22-year career at Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company, where he held a number of senior management positions most notably Senior Vice President of Healthcare and Senior Vice President of the Northeast Region with responsibilities across all property and casualty lines of business in that territory.

Ray holds a Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter designation and an Ohio Property & Casualty Agent’s license. In keeping with his strong interest in the health care field, he serves on the Board of Trustees of the Ohio Physicians Health Program and the Board of Trustees of the Central Ohio Lion’s Eye Bank.

Ray is married with three children and lives in New Albany.
