Relation names Hall CEO; Tatum to remain on board

Relation Insurance Inc. on Wednesday named Tim Hall CEO, succeeding Joe Tatum, who will remain on the board of the private-equity-backed brokerage.

Mr. Hall, who was named president of Relation in December, joined Relation as head of mergers and acquisitions in 2019 after Aquiline Capital Partners invested in the Walnut Creek, California-based brokerage. Previously, he was a managing director and partner at investment banking company Waller Helms Advisors.

“We are committed to supporting Tim and the company with any resources needed as they continue to seize the significant market opportunity ahead of them,” said Jeff Greenberg, chairman of Relation and of Aquiline, in a statement. 

Mr. Tatum joined Relation’s predecessor company in 2011. He previously held positions at Willis Towers Watson PLC and Marsh LLC.

Relation is the 36th-largest broker of U.S. business, according to Business Insurance’s most recent ranking. It has made more than 70 acquisitions since 2019 and has about 1,300 staff, the statement said.
