AmTrust Title Insurance Co. named Robert Callaghan as director of strategy, a new position at the company. He will be responsible for new agent initiatives and business development strategy and overseeing finance for title entities.
“In the course of a career spanning more than a decade in the real estate settlement industry, Rob has owned, opened or operated 21 title companies,” AmTrust Title President Jason Gordon said in a release. “He brings a unique combination of financial acumen and entrepreneurial spirit to AmTrust Title, and we are delighted he is joining the company.”
Callaghan was most recently the chief financial officer (CFO) of Titleknot, LLC, where he worked with title companies on financial stability and accounting practices, as well as mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, start-ups and the addition of branch offices.
From 2018-2021, he was both owner and CFO of Vanquish Land Title, LLC, a national title insurance company that specialized in centrally processed operations for refinance transactions. Before that, he was CFO of Core Service Partners, LLC, where he had the oversight of more than 100 employees and financial responsibility for 13 title insurance companies.
He also has experience as a licensed mortgage loan originator, is licensed in 28 states as a title insurance producer and has been a licensed Realtor for over 17 years.
“AmTrust has emerged as one of the best commercial underwriters in the business and has built up a residential agency base that now covers every state in the country,” Callaghan said. “My experience in finance and opening new title companies will be brought to bear on a much larger level at AmTrust Title. I am looking forward to working with this team in driving the strategy to further expand the company's agency base and national footprint.”
