Less than a year after taking the chief marketing job at Allstate Corp., Mark LaNeve is taking on a greater role at the Northbrook-based home and auto insurer.
As part of a leadership shakeup, the former General Motors Corp. sales executive will also oversee Allstate’s agency sales operations, in addition to his current role in marketing. The combined marketing and sale unit will report to both Chief Executive Tom Wilson and to Joe Lacher, president of Allstate Protection.
“This change leverages LaNeve’s strong background in sales and further expands his insurance expertise,” Allstate said in a memo obtained by the Tribune.
Also, 33-year Allstate veteran Joe Richardson, senior vice president of product distribution, has left Allstate.
The restructuring also affects Catherine Brune, Allstate’s high profile chief information officer. She joins Allstate’s protection unit as field president for the south regions, which include Florida and Texas.
She’ll continue to lead Allstate’s technology operations until her successor is named. A search is under way for “someone with deep expertise in technology trends, such as mobility and connectivity,” Allstate said in its memo.
An Allstate spokeswoman declined to comment on whether the restructuring, which also includes other leadership changes and aims to result in a “flatter” structure with more accountability, will lead to additional job cuts.
Yikes! What’s next!
Bravo to all who are leaving this horrific company. Those leaving are people who have a conscience, an intuition or judgment of intellect that distinguishes right from wrong.

: Allstate is a criminal insurance company. They lie, cheat and steal .Allstate’s goal is to maximize profits by offering lowball settlements to policyholders. Those who refuse are treated to years of expensive litigation. We are on year 15. Listen to my song and read our story. Read and share. Warning to all…….you are NOT in good hands.
It was a horrible place to work. Glad I got out of there when I did.
Allstate is a well known popular company that is a sub-standard operation that is a laughing stock within the industry. They make their shareholders happy by undercutting their own insureds’ in handling their claims. They hire people that have an opportunistic attitude that allows them to take advantage of their “customers” ignorance especially with personal insurance to advance their own agenda. Think about your grandparent having an accident with the “Good Hands” people that completely take advantage of them by low balling them with the assurance that they are taking care of them. Baloney! I’m glad to see that the public is seeing them as what they are…A Company based in Illinois that has no “real” regulatory rules to follow and make mega millions by shortchanging their own insureds
It used to be a good company to do business with as a customer and employee. Last 6 years honesty and integrity have been replaced by greed and lies and cutthroat management. Policy premium’s have been rising steadily for no reason; claims have been denied or low balled. Employee cutbacks are a quarterly event with jobs being outsourced to India and Northern Ireland. No leadership direction.
When are Butch Necastro and Steve Miller going to get the boot?
Sometimes we all need some downtime to remember what is truly important in our lives. Chicago is the ideal destination for spending some quality time with your partner.
