In his new role, Shomphe will define the overall technical strategies for the company's core application architecture and information technology infrastructure as well as internal and external customer support, as reported by Insurance Journal.

Nordost, who replaces Dick Hoye will be responsible for implementation of technology systems, required to improve operational efficiency and information availability to Arrowhead's carriers and producers.

Nordost said: ''I really do see this role as an expansion of the tasks I've been progressively working on with our business units and by extension our producers and carriers.''
