San Francisco-based Union Bank of California, N.A. has named Michael A. Janes chief executive officer of its insurance subsidiary, UnionBanc Insurance Services Inc., a new position within the company.

Mr. Janes joins the agency from Hilb, Rogal & Hobbs Co., where he was regional director of its West Coast operations.

Johannes Worsoe, executive vice president of Union Bank and chairman of UnionBanc Insurance Services, said adding Mr. Janes to the operation would allow the company to move ahead with plans to become a premier West Coast insurance agency. “We are very excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.”

Mr. Janes started his insurance career at the Hartford Insurance Company in 1981 before joining HRH in 1986.

UnionBanc Insurance Services said it recently announced the consolidation of its insurance operation under one operation. The new agency will be co-branded with the three original agencies of Armstong/Robitaille Business and Insurance Services, John Burnham Insurance, and Tanner Insurance Brokers for the foreseeable future.

The insurance operation currently has nine offices located in San Diego, Irvine, Fullerton, Glendale, Pleasanton, San Rafael, Stockton and Sacramento, Calif., and Portland, Ore. Annual revenue exceeds $80 million, and the company employs 415 persons.
