Dealers Assurance Company (DAC), a subsidiary of iA Financial Group, named Preston Haglin to the role of president, effective immediately.

For the past year, Haglin has spent time with the DAC team, working alongside them and already impacting business growth. This, combined with his leadership experience and history of growing teams, revenue and business opportunities in both the media and automotive sectors, makes him a logical choice for the role.

Having served most recently as vice president of Emerging Businesses and Innovation for iA American Warranty Group, a fellow subsidiary of iA Financial Group, Haglin has established a reputation as a progressive, forward-thinker and has implemented initiatives that helped lead the company into the future of data analytics.

“Preston has carved out a career that shows an impressive depth of understanding for business growth and optimization,” said Sean O’Brien, chief growth officer – US operations for iA Financial Group. “His vision for process improvement and efficiency, and his familiarity with our industry, will serve DAC well. I look forward to DAC’s future under his leadership.”

Prior to iA American and DAC, Haglin was head of operations for KingStar Ventures, chief operating officer for Media Properties Holdings, president of Lead Generation Technologies, and director of marketplace operations for LeadPoint. He holds a master's degree in mathematics from Villanova University and a bachelor's degree in physics from Colgate University.
