After departing First American, Kevin Wall lands CEO role at Title Resources Group

Title Resources Group (TRG) has named industry veteran Kevin Wall as its new CEO, effective July 28. Wall will also join the company’s board of directors.

J. Scott McCall, the company’s current CEO, will transition to vice chairman of the board.

Wall brings more than 30 years of experience in title insurance and settlement services. He most recently served as co-president of First American Title Insurance Co., overseeing seven operating units and global operations with more than 7,500 employees.

His departure from First American was announced June 25.

“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,” Alan Colberg, the company’s chairman of the board, said in a statement.

“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.”

Wall has also held prior senior positions at Fortress Investment Group, Nationstar, CoreLogic and Wells Fargo Financial. He has led multiple strategic acquisitions and digital transformation efforts across the financial services sector. Wall holds a bachelor’s degree in finance and management from the University of Pittsburgh.

“Joining Title Resources Group is an exciting new chapter in my career,” Wall said in a statement. “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.”

McCall has served as CEO for the past two decades, a period marked by strategic expansion and growth that saw the company rise to become the fifth-largest title insurance underwriter in the country. He will continue working with clients and partners while assisting in the leadership transition.

“Scott is an accomplished business executive and strong leader who has guided TRG to be the dynamic underwriter it is today,” Colberg said. “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.”
