NEW YORK, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MSIG USA today announced the appointment of Matt Thompson as South-Central region distribution leader, responsible for leading MSIG USA’s growth strategy across Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas. Thompson will report to Joseph Fitzpatrick, head of distribution for MSIG USA.
Thompson brings more than twenty years of experience across the insurance and financial services industries, with a career defined by building and leading high-performing teams to expand broker and client relationships through differentiated programs and services. Most recently, he was regional vice president for the south-central region at Starr, where he led team expansion, strengthened broker engagement, and drove regional growth initiatives. Prior to Starr, Thompson spent over a decade at AIG in New York, where he held senior client and business development roles, partnering with brokers and corporate clients to structure complex insurance programs, and drive growth across many of the most sophisticated accounts in the Northeast. His experience navigating large, complex organizations has shaped a disciplined, relationship-focused approach to addressing client and broker needs. Earlier in his career, Thompson served as vice president within Marsh’s private equity practice in New York where he worked closely with sponsors and portfolio companies to structure tailored risk solutions in a highly competitive market.
“Matt Thompson brings the kind of market perspective that comes from operating both sides of the business,” said Joe Fitzpatrick, head of distribution for MSIG USA. “His history of impactful execution combined with his ability to engage in a meaningful and consistent way, will make an immediate impact across the South-Central region.”
In his new role, Thompson will focus on advancing MSIG USA’s position as a data-driven, leading specialty insurer by strengthening broker and client relationships, aligning distribution strategy with specialty underwriting capabilities, and supporting continued growth across the South-Central United States.
