Marsh veteran brings decades of placement leadership to one of the nation’s fastest-growing brokerages

MECHANICSBURG, Pa., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Keystone, one of the largest and fastest-growing insurance brokerages in the United States, today announced the appointment of Kevin Meskell as National Brokerage Leader. In this role, Meskell will lead Keystone’s national brokerage strategy — deepening the company’s carrier relationships and strengthening the placement capabilities behind every Keystone agency and Platform Partner.

Meskell joins Keystone from The Baldwin Group, where he most recently served as National Placement Leader. Prior to Baldwin, he spent his career at Marsh, most recently as U.S. Placement Leader for Marsh Affinity — where he advanced through senior placement and leadership roles across multiple regions and specialty practices, building deep expertise in property & casualty, commercial lines, casualty, and underwriting. Earlier in his career, Meskell served as a reinsurance broker at Guy Carpenter.

“Adding Kevin to our leadership team is exactly the kind of investment we’re making to serve the agencies and clients who trust us,” said Mike Walsh, Chief Executive Officer at Keystone. “Kevin brings the kind of carrier relationships and placement expertise that comes from decades at the highest level of this industry. His experience puts something powerful in the hands of every producer across our network — and it signals to the carrier community that Keystone is building at a scale that matters.”

“What pulled me to Keystone is the combination — the scale of a top-30 broker with the depth of a national independent agency network, and a leadership team focused on making that a real advantage for producers,“ said Kevin Meskell. “I’m here to build the brokerage engine that helps them win.“

The appointment comes during a period of significant momentum for Keystone. Business Insurance recently named Keystone the 26th largest retail broker in the United States and the 4th fastest-growing broker among the Top 50. Operating across 33+ states with more than $500 million in revenue and 180+ agency partners, Keystone combines the local expertise and community relationships of independent agencies with the scale, resources, and carrier relationships of a national broker.
