CAC Specialty, an insurance brokerage subsidiary of CAC Group, has appointed Sonny Pittman (pictured above) as Executive Vice President of Business Development.

Pittman, who has extensive experience in both the healthcare and behavioral health sectors, is expected to play a pivotal role in expanding CAC Specialty’s presence in the Nashville market.

Pittman has extensive experience in property and casualty since the third generation, and his expertise extends to a variety of sectors, including transportation and automotive agencies.

He currently focuses on healthcare, providing customized insurance solutions to clients such as hospitals, healthcare systems, physician groups, behavioral health facilities, and healthcare technology companies.

Melissa Menard, executive vice president of healthcare at CAC Specialty, commented on Pittman’s expertise, particularly in the behavioral health sector, noting that his knowledge will be valuable to clients facing new challenges in a rapidly changing risk landscape.

“His leadership and deep knowledge will be instrumental as we continue to build meaningful relationships with our clients and deliver exceptional service in a better, smarter way,” Menard added.

Pittman previously served as a director and client advocate at a global brokerage firm, where he developed a comprehensive understanding of healthcare industry risks. His work with hospitals, physician groups, and healthcare technology companies has established him as a trusted advisor in the behavioral health space.

“I am thrilled to join CAC Specialty and be part of this innovative team,” said Pittman. “Their industry expertise and commitment to customer service is unparalleled, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to continue to drive value for our clients.”

This announcement follows a broader rebranding initiative undertaken by CAC Group in August, coinciding with the company’s fifth anniversary. The rebranding unifies CAC Group’s three business units under a single brand identity.

CAC Specialty, which focuses on specialty risks, is now part of a cohesive structure alongside CAC Agency, the new name for Cobbs Allen, a 135-year-old property and casualty, personal lines and employee benefits insurer, and CAC Capital, which specializes in private financing and structured solutions.
