Green Tree Risk Partners, a specialized insurance brokerage serving the lumber and building materials industry, announced that Laura Page assumed the role of director effective Sunday, March 1, 2026. The leadership change supports the company’s continued expansion and focus on operational excellence.
Page succeeds Angelo Ganguzza, who will retire from his full-time agency leadership role after 40 years in the insurance industry focused on the wood and building materials sector. He will transition into a strategic position within brokerage operations.
Ganguzza played a leading role in building Green Tree into a specialized insurance organization that generated more than $18 million in written premiums in 2025. As the company transitions to new leadership, Green Tree expects to continue building on that momentum.
The company said the appointment reflects a thoughtful succession plan. Page brings 20 years of insurance and leadership experience. She has a track record of driving profitable growth, strengthening operational frameworks, and building high-performing teams.
“Laura’s tenured experience and forward-thinking approach make her exceptionally well-suited to lead Green Tree Risk Partners into its next chapter,” said John K. Smith, president and CEO of PLM. “Her focus on execution, talent development, and marketplace strength aligns perfectly with our long-term strategy.”
Before joining Green Tree, Page served as vice president at Extraco Insurance Agency. In that role, she enhanced training programs, modernized onboarding processes, and emphasized sustained profitable growth.
At Green Tree, Page will focus on further developing the agency model and ensuring the organization continues delivering a competitive marketplace for insureds, producers, and partners across the lumber and building materials industry.
Green Tree also expressed appreciation for Ganguzza’s contributions and stated that it looks forward to his continued impact in his new strategic role.
“Angelo Ganguzza is a tremendous leader, and he has certainly left an indelible mark on Green Tree Risk Partners and Pennsylvania Lumbermens Mutual Insurance Company,” Smith said. “Angelo’s leadership will be missed as he transitions into a strategic role within brokerage operations, but the model he built at Green Tree Risk Partners and the lasting relationships he cultivated will benefit the organization for years to come.”
