SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—Matt Clemmons has rejoined CNA National, resuming his position as regional vice president for the north central region of the U.S, which includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin.

Matt’s experience as an agent, with dealerships and with CNA National made him the ideal candidate for our open RVP spot.

“It’s really rewarding when we are able to rehire a qualified, capable and competent employee,” said Jeff Weston, chief revenue officer. “It demonstrates to our clients that CNA National is a great place to work and validates the same for our staff. We had several agents, who worked with Matt before, express their pleasure at his return.” 

Clemmons spent nearly five years with the company from 2012 to 2017, where he was successful in championing the agents and dealers in his territory and helping them grow. During his absence, he remained close with CNAN as representative with one of its distributors, where he signed several dealerships and drove increases in service contract production. Prior to his first stint with CNAN, Clemmons worked for other independent F&I providers in direct support of dealership clients and spent 10 years as a finance manager.

“Matt’s experience as an agent, with dealerships and with CNA National made him the ideal candidate for our open RVP spot,” said Ted Twombly, divisional vice president. “Because of his knowledge base, Matt can more easily pick up where he left off and quickly begin supporting our agents and contributing to their success. In addition, he brings expertise in the F&I space that fully rounds out our already robust team.”

As a regional vice president with CNA National, Clemmons will oversee multiple accounts, assist with prospecting, sign ups and installation of new stores, and provide guidance for increasing penetration rates and streamlining the F&I process.
