MMG’s Matt McHatten Elected Chair of The Insurance Information Institute

January 10, 2025 by AC Editor

Mr. McHatten is President and CEO at MMG Insurance

Matt McHatten, President and Chief Executive Officer at MMG Insurance, was elected chair of the Insurance Information Institute’s (Triple-I) Executive Leadership Committee (ELC). McHatten succeeds Jennifer Kyung, CEO and Founder of NextGen Underwriting and former P&C Chief Underwriting Officer, USAA.

“As Triple-I continues to look toward the future in how we inform important discussions on risk and insurance, we are thrilled Matt will be at the helm as ELC chair,” said Sean Kevelighan, CEO of the Triple-I.  “His broadminded leadership style brings additional perspective, skills, and experience in driving innovation and navigating complex challenges such as legal system abuse and climate risk and resilience.

“It is important to also recognize and thank Jen Kyung for her esteemed service as Triple-I Chair these past three years,” Kevelighan continued. “She was instrumental in bringing new members to Triple-I and diversity to our ELC.”

McHatten joined MMG in 2001, and prior to becoming President and CEO, he served as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. During McHatten’s long tenure, he has led a variety of corporate initiatives, fostered agency partnerships, and strategically positioned the company for growth.

“I am honored to be elected chair and hopeful that my years of experience at MMG, a regional carrier dedicated to the independent agent channel, will add to the variety of viewpoints on issues Triple-I and the ELC are focused on,” McHatten said. “This organization is not only a trusted resource, but also a major voice for the insurance industry. I’m proud to serve on this committee and to help continue this important work.”

McHatten is past chair and member of the NAMIC Management Conference Board, as well as a past member of the Hartford Steam Boiler Advisory Board.

He holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Finance from the University of Maine and currently serves as an incorporator of the University of Maine Foundation. Additionally, McHatten is a recipient of the foundation’s President Abram W. Harris Award and a Rotary International Paul Harris Fellow.
