Lindsey Morden Group Inc. said it has accepted the resignation of Karen Murphy after four years as president and CEO of Lindsey Morden and Cunningham Lindsey U.S.Inc.

The company said Jan Christiansen, a 30-year industry veteran, will take over as new president and CEO of the insurance holding company and subsidiary.

“Ms. Murphy felt that given the recent successful completion of the previously announced sale of the third party administration business in the United States and refinancing of Lindsey Morden’s short-term indebtedness, the timing of her resignation was appropriate,” said Lindsey Morden chairman James Dowd in a statement. “We wish her success in her future endeavors.”

For the past 10 years, Christiansen worked in the service industry in the role of Chief Financial Officer, first with Panalpina, an integrated international freight forwarder and later with USF Worldwide Inc., a subsidiary of USF Corp.
