Ted Shallcross — 22 Who Made a Difference in 2022

Ted Shallcross — 22 Who Made a Difference in 2022

The C-suite does not have a lot of turnover at the Amica headquarters up in Lincoln.

The Rhode Island-based insurance company has been known over the years for its top-tier service and a history of corporate conservatism. Up until a decade or so ago, when a male employee left his desk, he needed to don his jacket. Those days are gone. But stability remains.

In June of 2022, Amica announced that Ted Shallcross, the young gun in the leadership of the company, would be taking over for the long-time and much-respected Bob DiMuccio.

Donald Julian Reaves, Amica's Lead Director, said about the appointment of Shallcross at the time, "Ted is the right person at the right time. He has the Board's unanimous support, and we know Amica will continue to thrive under his guidance. Ted brings industry experience, demonstrated leadership skills, a track record of success and extensive knowledge of the company."

And, DiMuccio said: "I've worked with Ted for the past 15 years. During that time, he has shown himself to be a steady, objective and empathetic leader. I fully support his appointment as Amica's next CEO, and look forward to working with him over the next six months as he transitions into his new role. I retire from Amica knowing that the company is led by a Board and CEO who understand its culture and values, and who are ready to face the challenges ahead."

And even before Shallcross officially took over in October, he put his touch on the company — grabbing the naming rights to the Providence Civic Center aka, the Dunk, and now the AMP (Amica Mutual Pavilion).

The state is in desperate need of strong -- and young -- corporate leadership, and Shallcross could be a great contributor.

Rhode Island should be excited about Shallcross, and it looks like he is excited about Rhode Island.
