CNA National Promotes Todd Sands to New Vice President Position
Scottsdale, Ariz. — Todd Sands was appointed to the newly created position of vice president of product administration and sales for CNA National Warranty Corporation (CNAN), effective immediately.
Sands joined the company in February 2001, and previously served as a regional vice president for the southwestern part of the U.S. In this new position, he will be responsible for managing internal program initiatives, competitive analysis and product enhancements as well as assisting with large dealer installations and communications with regional vice presidents.
“As we continue to grow and expand we are constantly reviewing what we can do to provide more support to our agents and dealers,” said Alan Miller, senior vice president of sales. “We created this position to add strength to our team at our Scottsdale headquarters in an effort to provide better service. This role is an exact fit with the skill set Todd has developed during his career at CNA National.”
“Our agents work hard to grow their businesses and I am looking forward to becoming an even more valuable resource for them moving forward,” said Sands. “My experience working with agents across the country for the last decade gives me insight to help address their needs effectively. I welcome this new opportunity and appreciate working in a corporate culture where we do things the right way in a growing industry.”
