McClone has announced the promotion of Brad DeLeeuw to Vice President of Business Development. The company, which specializes in insurance, risk management, and employee benefits, stated that this move highlights both its ongoing growth and the strategic role of business development in connecting market demands with long-term client outcomes.

Brad DeLeeuw previously served as Director of Business Development. In that position, he was credited with advancing strategic growth initiatives and building important partnerships within McClone and the wider business sector. As Vice President, DeLeeuw will now oversee the growth, development, and performance of the Business Development team. He will also work to further McClone’s mission.

“Brad’s leadership has helped shape a business development function that’s consultative, intentional, and rooted in trust,” said Dustin McClone, President and CEO. “This promotion gives him the platform to bring that approach to scale, supporting our team internally while elevating the experience externally.”

DeLeeuw is recognized for helping build a system at McClone where business development focuses on finding the right fit rather than only seeking growth. The company’s approach allows risk advisors to prioritize technical strategy and service while ensuring clients are supported throughout their engagement.

“We’ve always believed that strong relationships open the door, but results are what keep us there,” said Bill Julius, Executive Vice President of Sales. “Brad understands that balance. His team leads with curiosity and follow-through, helping clients get to better outcomes, not just better conversations.”

The Business Development team at McClone serves as an initial point of contact for many clients and helps guide organizations toward solutions tailored to their needs. This is part of McClone’s emphasis on communication and consistency in all client interactions.

The timing of DeLeeuw’s promotion coincides with continued expansion at McClone as it works to address changing requirements among its clients.
