CNA National Appoints New Vice President of Claims
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—CNA National is pleased to announce that, effective April 1, Mike Bacosa has been promoted to vice president of claims.
Bacosa is a long-time member of CNAN with over 20 years in the Claims Department. For the past seven years, he led CNAN’s claims organization as its senior manager and has held many other roles since starting as an adjuster in 1997. Previously, Bacosa spent a few years as a service advisor with a local Arizona Volvo and Mazda dealership.
“Mike was the obvious choice for this role,” said Joe Becker, president and chief executive officer. “Throughout his tenure here, he has demonstrated strong leadership, excellent judgment and a passion for what we do. He is well positioned to help us maintain our leadership role in the industry.”
Bacosa and his team of over 100 adjusters are responsible for resolving all incoming claims, working closely with our dealership clients and delivering the high level of service our customers expect.
“I am honored to become a part of the executive team here at CNAN,” said Bacosa. “It’s a wonderful feeling to come to work and love what you do. I am excited by the challenges this new role will present and will continue to focus the Claims Department on delivering superior service and exceeding expectations.”
