He assumes the role following the retirement of Mike Barron, who served in the role for over 17 years. Larry Martin, who joined Texas Mutual in 1994, was named as the company’s new senior vice president of human resources, after the retirement of Lynette Caldwell, who held the position for over 12 years.

During his time at Texas Mutual, Potter has led the premium audit team as they enhanced their focus on customer service, resulting in a policyholder audit satisfaction rate of 98%.
