veteran
Kevin
Wall
as
its

of
directors.
J.
Scott
McCall,
the

will
transition
to
vice
chairman
of
the
board.
Wall
brings
more
than
30
years

seven
operating
units
and
global
operations
with
more
than
7,500

His

from
First
American
was
announced
June
25.
“Kevin’s
proven

lead
large,
complex
organizations
and
deliver

through
innovation
and
operational
excellence
makes
him
the
ideal
leader
for
TRG’s
next
phase,”
Alan

the
company’s

of
the
board,
said
in
a

“His
deep
industry

client-first
mindset,

will
be
invaluable
as

“Joining
Title
Resources
Group
is
an
exciting
new
chapter
in
my
career,”
Wall
said
in
a
statement.
“Throughout
my
journey
in
the
title
and
mortgage
industries,
I
have
seen
firsthand
the
critical
role
title
insurance
plays
in
protecting
property
rights
and
enabling
homeownership.
TRG’s
commitment
to
innovation,
customer
service
and
partnerships
with
agents
and
lenders
aligns
perfectly
with
my
own
values.
“I
look
forward
to
working
with
the
talented
TRG
team
to
build
on
the
company’s
strong
foundation
and
accelerate
our
growth
in
a
rapidly
evolving
market.”
McCall
has
served
as
CEO
for
the
past
two
decades,
a
period
marked
by
strategic
expansion
and
growth
that
saw
the
company
rise
to
become
the
fifth-largest
title
insurance
underwriter
in
the
country.
He
will
continue
working
with
clients
and
partners
while
assisting
in
the
leadership
transition.
“Scott
is
an
accomplished
business
executive
and
strong
leader
who
has
guided
TRG
to
be
the
dynamic
underwriter
it
is
today,”
Colberg
said.
“He
has
cultivated
a
people-valued,
customer-centric
organization
with
long-standing
unique
partnerships
in
all
facets
of
the
real
estate
industry.
We
look
forward
to
Scott
continuing
this
legacy
in
his
new
role
on
the
board.”
