Big ‘I’ Names Chris Cline New ACT Executive Director


Industry veteran Cline previously served at Westfield Insurance for 28 years.  

The Big “I” is pleased to announce the appointment of Chris Cline as the new executive director of the Big “I” Agents Council for Technology (ACT). Cline replaces Ron Berg, who will retire in May after eight years of outstanding contributions to the independent agency channel. 
 
 Cline comes to this new role after having been with Westfield Insurance for 28 years, with his most recent role as national agency distribution leader, which included directing agency life cycle management and overseeing existing and emerging agency technology. Cline has been the host of “Closing the Gap,” a podcast for independent insurance agents, and has also worked in partnership with the Big “I” in a number of areas, including the Trusted Choice® consumer brand and on various ACT projects. 

 “Chris’ experience guiding independent agencies as an active voice in the channel makes him a great fit to lead ACT’s initiatives to improve agency workflow and technology,” says Bob Rusbuldt, Big “I” president & CEO. “Westfield and Chris have been longtime friends and partners of the Big “I,” ACT and the independent agency community, and we’re excited for him to continue the great work of shaping the future of insurance technology here in this leadership role.”

“Joining the Big ‘I’ allows Chris to continue his service to independent insurance agents,” says Robyn Hahn, president of commercial lines at Westfield. “We look forward to continuing to partner with the Big ‘I’ and ACT to provide technology solutions for agencies and the industry.” 
Cline will begin in his new role with ACT on April 4.
