Amid record growth, insurer expands executive team

CLEARWATER — AmeriLife Group LLC, a marketer and distributor of health and life insurance plans, as well as annuities, has added to the leadership team of its life and health brokerage division, which, the firm says in a news release, has experienced “record-pacing growth” in recent years.

Matt Graham, the release states, has been promoted to senior vice president of AmeriLife’s life and health operations and managed care solutions — a newly created role. He previously served as vice president of managed care solutions and has worked for AmeriLife since 2005.

Eric Brennan and Bryan Keevan, meanwhile, have both been named vice president of life and health.

Brennan, according to the release, comes to AmeriLife from one of the firm’s affiliates, Equita Health Care, after beginning his career at Accenture. Keevan, who boasts more than 25 years of experience in the insurance and Medicare industry, was most recently vice president of managed care sales at YourMedicare.com, an AmeriLife subsidiary. His career also includes stints with Molina Healthcare, Bloom Insurance Agency, Aetna and Coventry Health Care.

"To say I’m thrilled for these appointments is an understatement,” states Scotty Elliott, president of AmeriLife’s life and health brokerage division, in the release. “Matt and Bryan’s promotions and Eric’s hiring are a testament to the incredible growth — and opportunities that lie ahead — for AmeriLife’s Life & Health Brokerage Division. I know I speak for our partners across our distribution when I say that we’re excited to get down to work with our new leadership bench and build on the tremendous momentum we achieved in 2021.”
