\n TUPELO, Miss.<\/span>, March 4, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — BXS Insurance, Inc., a subsidiary of BancorpSouth Bank (NYSE: BXS),\u00a0announced several leadership changes designed to optimize the client experience and drive organizational growth. <\/p>\n

The leadership realignment underscores BXS Insurance’s (BXSI) commitment to its customers and communities, which have been at the center of its service model since the organization was established. <\/p>\n

“Our team and clients shape who we are; and together, we have a vested interest in the success of our communities,” said BXSI President and CEO Markham McKnight<\/span>. “When we can be a part of our clients’ success and partner to create insurance solutions mitigating their personal and professional risks, that is a win for everyone. To that end, we have aligned our internal teams to better reflect the needs of our client base.”\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\n
\n Chris Boone<\/span>
\n <\/b>, who previously served as president of BXSI’s Property & Casualty Division, has been named president of Commercial and Group Solutions. Boone will also take on the responsibility of the Employee Benefits Division. McKnight stated that the addition of “solutions” is an important nuance in that BXSI provides solutions and “not just products.” <\/p>\n

\n
\n Kerry Drake<\/span>
\n <\/b>\u00a0has been named president emeritus of Employee Benefits. He will continue to be involved as a producer and provide guidance to the employee benefits team. Long known as an innovator and visionary, Drake laid the foundation for BXSI’s Employee Benefits Division in Louisiana<\/span>, previously served as president of the Louisiana<\/span> region and, according to McKnight, his contributions “cannot be highlighted enough.”<\/p>\n

\n
\n Scott Naugle<\/span>
\n <\/b>\u00a0has been named president of Consumer Solutions, a new role for BXSI. In this capacity, Naugle is responsible for leading Personal Lines and tying together related groups, such as BXSI’s individual, small group, and life and health teams. McKnight noted that Naugle, previously BXSI’s Chief Operating Officer, is an insurance professional by background and is “excited to get back into the business of insurance on a daily basis.” <\/p>\n

\n
\n Aimee Kilpatrick<\/span>
\n <\/b>\u00a0has been named Chief Operating Officer. Over the last several years, she has worked closely with Naugle and increasingly taken on more responsibilities in this area. Kilpatrick assumed responsibility for BXSI’s Marketing and Communications teams; Resources, Recruitment and Retention team; Carrier Interface team; internal education and talent development programs and will work more closely with the organization’s regional operational leaders.<\/p>\n

\n
\n Steve Allison<\/span>
\n <\/b>\u00a0has been named Chief Sales Officer. Previously the president of the Louisiana Region, Allison is a leader in developing and leading sales teams at BXSI and will be scaling what he has done in Louisiana<\/span> across the organization’s footprint. He will be strategically working with producers and sales leaders. <\/p>\n

\n
\n Patrick Moore<\/span>
\n <\/b>\u00a0has been named president of the Louisiana Region. Moore, in moving into the role that Allison previously held, will be doing so in addition to serving as head of Marketing and Carrier Relations. According to McKnight, Moore played a key part in the growth of the Louisiana Region and will continue to do so in this enhanced position. <\/p>\n
