Appointed by the USAA Board of Directors, Buchmueller has more
than 35 years of experience in the insurance industry, which
includes founding PURE Insurance, a specialty firm focused on
protecting high-value assets. Like USAA, PURE is a values-based
company, focused on doing right by its now-113,000 member-owners.
Prior to founding PURE, Buchmueller led AIG’s private client group,
building it into one of the company’s fastest growing divisions. He
began his career as an underwriter at Chubb before earning
leadership roles, including head of marketing and sales for
personal insurance.
“Ross’ industry and military acumen will serve USAA’s members
well, blending proven business strategies with an ability to
innovate to meet the changing needs of the military community and
their families,” said USAA Board Chairman Vice Adm. James M.
Zortman, USN (ret.). “He is an exceptional and visionary leader,
with expertise that will help shape how we provide value to our
members and continue USAA’s 102-year legacy of service.”
"I’m a proud son of an Air Force father, and USAA is a trusted
partner to my family and so many others who've worn the uniform,”
Buchmueller said. “I’ve always admired USAA’s member-first
approach, so it’s truly an honor to join the board and play a role
in delivering on the mission.”
