A major leadership change is coming to one of Erie\u2019s largest employers. Erie Insurance President and CEO Tim NeCastro is retiring.<\/p>\n
After three decades with the company \u2014 including 10 years leading it \u2014 Erie Insurance CEO Tim NeCastro is preparing to step down.<\/p>\n
The Erie native has guided the Fortune 500 company through significant growth, with more than seven million active policies now in place.<\/p>\n
In 2014, he led Erie Insurance\u2019s expansion into Kentucky, marking its 12th state of operation and continuing the company\u2019s steady growth strategy.<\/p>\n
NeCastro also helped the company navigate challenges, including a cybersecurity incident in the summer of 2025 that temporarily shut down systems for about a month.<\/p>\n
The impact of his retirement is being felt across the community. Gannon University President Dr. Walter Iwanenko reflected on NeCastro\u2019s influence.<\/p>\n
Iwanenko: \u201cHe\u2019s proud of Gannon, and he served on our Board of Trustees. He helped move some initiatives forward on our campus, including the insurance lab at the I-HACK building.\u201d<\/p>\n
His influence also extended into the medical community, with local leaders sharing how NeCastro shaped the region.<\/p>\n
Dr. Clark: \u201cHe\u2019s one of the first community leaders I reached out to shortly after I started. He\u2019s been instrumental in my own profession and a great mentor. His impact on Erie has been substantial.\u201d<\/p>\n
NeCastro is expected to make his retirement official at the end of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A major leadership change is coming to one of Erie\u2019s largest employers.
