Despite some reactive crisis management skills, a history of ceding market share and failed strategic execution may leave Tom Wilson ill-equipped to lead Allstate’s necessary pivot to profitable growth and retention.

Management evaluated Tom Wilson’s track record and skillset against the following key factors for ALL:

  • Improving customer retention to drive net policy growth.
  • Defending homeowners profits amid rising catastrophe volatility.
  • Executing the complex multi-channel distribution strategy.
  • Executing the pivot to profitable auto policy growth.

Question #1

As Allstate pivots from portfolio reshaping to winning the ground war for auto market share, will Wilson demonstrate the patience for incremental, customer-focused execution, or will his dealmaker instincts lead him to prioritize large strategic moves over fixing the core business?

Question #2

Given the failed Esurance integration and resulting agent alienation, does Wilson now possess the leadership credibility to balance the competing demands of the direct and agent channels, or will he sacrifice one for the other when faced with inevitable conflict?

Question #3

Is Wilson’s risk management playbook, celebrated for its reactive success during the 2008 financial crisis, truly equipped to proactively price for future catastrophe volatility, or does his failure to anticipate auto inflation reveal a critical weakness in forward-looking risk assessment?
