Williams brings more than 25 years of auto claims experience, including building and leading the claims organization at Bristol West. In life insurance, Kemper appointed Jennifer Kopps-Wagner as head of Kemper Life, succeeding Flint and reporting to McAnena. She has spent more than eight years as Kemper Life's general counsel and will oversee core insurance operations, including administration, actuarial, product, pricing and underwriting.
