Dallas-based Title Resources Group, the nation’s fifth-largest title insurance underwriter, has appointed 30-year industry veteran Kevin Wall as chief executive officer and member of the board of directors.

Concurrently, TRG said that current CEO J. Scott McCall will become vice chairman of the board of directors. Both executive leadership changes will be effective as of July 28.

TRG said that during McCall’s time as CEO, it rose to the fifth-largest title insurance underwriter, operating as best-in-class for its unique partnerships and service to large title insurance affiliated partnerships and independent agents.

“Scott is an accomplished business executive and strong leader who has guided TRG to be the dynamic underwriter it is today,” Board Chairman Alan Colberg said in a statement. “He has cultivated a people-valued, customer-centric organization with long-standing unique partnerships in all facets of the real estate industry. We look forward to Scott continuing this legacy in his new role on the Board.”

As vice chairman, TRG said that McCall will continue to focus on clients and partners and will work closely with Wall to ensure a seamless leadership transition.

‘The ideal leader for TRG’s next phase’

TRG said that Wall brings more than three decades of leadership experience in title insurance and settlement services.

Most recently, he was co-president of First American Title Insurance Co., where he led seven operating units and global operations spanning more than 7,500 employees. Under Wall’s leadership, First American advanced digital adoption and completed several strategic acquisitions, including ServiceMac and Docutech, which were recognized for their innovation and impact on the industry.

“Kevin’s proven ability to lead large, complex organizations and deliver results through innovation and operational excellence makes him the ideal leader for TRG’s next phase,” Colberg said. “His deep industry expertise, client-first mindset, and track record of building high-performing teams will be invaluable as TRG continues to expand its national footprint and deliver best-in-class solutions to our partners and customers.”

Before First American, Wall held senior leadership roles at Fortress Investment Group, Nationstar, CoreLogic and Wells Fargo Financial, where he was responsible for driving growth, integrating acquisitions and leading digital transformation initiatives.

“Joining Title Resources Group is an exciting new chapter in my career,” Wall said. “Throughout my journey in the title and mortgage industries, I have seen firsthand the critical role title insurance plays in protecting property rights and enabling homeownership. TRG’s commitment to innovation, customer service and partnerships with agents and lenders aligns perfectly with my own values. I look forward to working with the talented TRG team to build on the company’s strong foundation and accelerate our growth in a rapidly evolving market.”
