“I am thrilled to be joining Plexus, and I am happy to continue to work hand-in-hand with clients to tailor risk management solutions to protect all they have earned and achieved,” Dohn said. “This is a very exciting opportunity, and I look forward to guiding Plexus’s new, national personal lines practice.”
