CARMEL, Indiana – Shepherd Insurance is pleased to announce that Matt Kleymeyer has joined the firm as the President of Employee Benefits, further strengthening the organization’s commitment to delivering innovative employee benefits solutions and exceptional client service.
Based out of Shepherd’s headquarters in Carmel, Indiana, Kleymeyer brings nearly 20 years of employee benefits experience to the organization. His career has spanned nearly every facet of the business across both small and large group markets, including sales, client service, operations, and leadership.

In this role, he will focus on strategic leadership, driving departmental growth, talent development, carrier relationships, and identifying opportunities to further enhance the firm’s employee benefits offerings.
“Matt brings a tremendous depth of industry experience and leadership expertise that will help us continue elevating our Employee Benefits practice,” said Quinn Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Insurance. “He will play a key role in enhancing our operations, supporting strategic growth initiatives, developing our people, and building on the strong foundation we’ve already established. We’re thrilled to have Matt join Shepherd and further strengthen an already exceptional leadership team.”
Kleymeyer said he was drawn to Shepherd Insurance’s client-focused culture, strong reputation, and commitment to investing in its people.
“What drew me to Shepherd is the caliber of people already here and the strength of the relationships they’ve built over decades with the clients they serve,” said Kleymeyer. “I’m looking forward to working alongside this team to build on that foundation and position the Employee Benefits practice for the next chapter of growth.”
