Gelsomino succeeds Wolney at Avalon Risk

Scott Wolney said last week he is leaving as president of Avalon Risk Management to head Lincoln General Insurance Co.

Avalon, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, provides insurance products for the transportation industry, including performance bonds for customs-related activity, ocean freight forwarding, foreign trade zones, cargo insurance and liability coverage, and truck insurance.

Avalon, Elk Grove Village, Ill., is a general sales agent for Lincoln General, which provides the underlying insurance. Both companies are part of Kingsway Financial Services Group.

Lisa Gelsomino, Avalon's executive vice president, will succeed Wolney, Avalon said in a customer bulletin.
