Stewart Announces Retirement of Group President Steven Lessack

Stewart Information Services Corporation (NYSE:STC) today announced the planned retirement of Steve Lessack, Group President, effective at the end of the year. Lessack joined Stewart in 1995, serving as Group President since 2019.

“When I joined Stewart in 2019, I asked Steve to stay on to lead our Direct Operations, National Commercial Services and International Operations,” said Fred Eppinger, Stewart CEO. “Over the past five years I have leaned on Steve’s experience as he has been a steady and reliable cornerstone to our largest revenue generating operations. Under his guidance and leadership, we have brought in top-tier talent to help lead each of these endeavors, strengthening Stewart across these business lines.”

In April of 2023, Stewart announced that Ryan Swed had been promoted to the role of Head of U.S. Direct Operations, taking over the company’s largest business operation, and Erin Sheckler had been promoted to the role of Head of National Commercial Services, both reporting up through Lessack.

“Ryan and Erin have done a tremendous job leading this past year and a half, especially in this difficult market, and on the international side, Marco Polsinelli will now oversee International Operations while continuing to lead our Canadian Operations,” continued Eppinger. “Steve was the driving force behind opening Stewart’s Canadian Operations in 1997 and responsible for our successful expansion outside of the U.S. We will miss Steve’s leadership and 35-plus years of expertise, but he has put in place a team that is highly regarded in our industry and well-positioned for continued growth and success.”
