Real estate services company Stewart has announced the appointment of Wilhelmina Kightlinger (pictured) as chief underwriting counsel for its National Commercial Services (NCS) arm.
Kightlinger, previously NCS deputy chief underwriting counsel, succeeds Don Wade, who is stepping down from the role to focus on mentorship and training. According to a release, he will continue to serve as a member of the underwriting leadership team for Stewart NCS and on the senior underwriting committee.
“Don has been with Stewart for nearly 30 years, serving in the NCS chief underwriting counsel role for the past five years,” said Erin Sheckler, head of Stewart NCS. “We want to thank Don for his leadership and all he has done for Stewart and our underwriters, as he will work closely with Wilhelmina to ensure a smooth transition. Commercial underwriting is already a noted strength of ours at Stewart, and Wilhelmina will continue to build upon the great foundation that Don and our other senior underwriting committee leaders have lain.”
