Gilsbar is proud to announce a title and role change expansion for Derrek Barfield from Senior National Sales Executive to Strategic Sales Director. With this role expansion, Mr. Barfield will continue to grow Gilsbar in the Carrier Outsourcing marketplace with a focus on building relationships and creating partnerships. Working with carrier and affinity partners has been a central part of Gilsbar’s 60-year history, and this expansion is a commitment to investing in the capabilities to make those partnerships an even larger part of Gilsbar’s organization.

With almost 20 years of experience, Mr. Barfield has successfully executed the role of Employee Benefits Department Manager, overseeing the reinsurance and account management functions for self-funded employer business. In addition, he has managed several national life, medical and ancillary programs for carriers, and executed outside sales responsibilities for Gilsbar’s fully-insured agency business.
