A story of entrepreneurship, vision and customer focus
Stillwater was founded in 2000 as the Fidelity National Property and Casualty Insurance Group, a branch of FNF, the country's largest provider of commercial and residential title and mortgage services.
Since its beginning, Stillwater has been under the direct leadership of President and CEO Mark Davey. Through setting up a managing general agency (MGA) and purchasing Anza Insurance (to be renamed Fidelity National Insurance Company), he formed the sales and underwriting core of FNF's insurance division - as well as the "seed" of the group of companies that would one day be branded as "Stillwater."
By 2002, the insurance division of FNF had rapidly expanded its geographic footprint and was ready to move beyond the Golden State. Fueled by vision and a passion for the industry and its customers, Davey and his growing team executed a strategy of both forming and acquiring additional companies.
The strategy helped the division grow its business volume, as well as the division's talent, product breadth and technology capabilities - all critical elements of a customer-focused insurance provider.
Establishing a brand
In 2005, the catastrophic hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma brought with them an aftermath of long-lasting changes for not only the Gulf region, but also the entire property and casualty insurance industry.
The severe weather and high storm activity that followed over the next few years was an abrupt reminder of the risks borne by an insurance provider. Affirming its true focus on title and mortgage services, FNF made a strategic decision to exit the property and casualty insurance market.
Not wanting to abandon what he and his employees had built - or the customers they served - Davey organized a group of investors to make a bid. On May 1, 2012, they bought 85 percent of the outstanding shares of FNF's P&C operations. Another investor group bought the flood operations. The remaining 15 percent of FNF's P&C operations were purchased on June 16, 2016.
Backed with capital and more than 250 experienced and passionate team members, FNF's former P&C division was rebranded as the Stillwater Insurance Group.
