EPIC Expands Into Arizona

EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants has announced the expansion of its operations in the Southwest with the appointments of Luke Aschermann as client manager, Norma Brehm as property and casualty claims manager, and Belinda Lopes as principal and senior client advocate. All join EPIC from Willis Towers Watson and will form a team in Phoenix.

The new line-up forms EPIC’s foundation in a key regional market, the company said. The Phoenix team will report to KJ Wagner, managing principal and director of the Southwest Region.

“We are thrilled to continue the growth of our Southwest operations into Arizona with the additions of Luke, Norma and Belinda,” Wagner said. “They are all well-respected industry professionals who will provide a strong foundation as we rapidly build our EPIC presence in this important market.”

EPIC also has Southwest Region offices in Austin, Dallas and Houston.
