Dennis Schembri Announces Key Senior Appointments and Expansion in Ontario.

TORONTO, ON, JANUARY 6, 2026/insPRESS/ – Dennis Schembri, President of Kernaghan Adjusters, is pleased to announce a series of senior hires and a strategic branch expansion in Ontario, marking an exciting start to 2026 and reinforcing the firm’s commitment to exceptional claims service across Canada.

Vice President, Eastern Canada
KA has appointed Bryan Levisauskas as Vice President, Eastern Canada. A highly respected large loss adjuster, Bryan brings extensive experience managing complex commercial, industrial, condominium, and specialty losses. He is widely recognized for his sound judgment and technical expertise, which consistently instill confidence among insurers, clients, and other stakeholders involved in high-severity claims.

Bryan is also known for his ability to develop and mentor adjusters, providing practical guidance grounded in real-world experience. His leadership will play a key role in strengthening the technical capabilities of the Eastern Canada team while supporting professional growth and consistency in claim outcomes.

In his new role, Bryan will assume regional leadership responsibilities previously held by Dennis Schembri, with a focus on developing technical talent, supporting business growth across Eastern Canada, and ensuring clients continue to receive a high standard of claims service.

“Bryan is the right person at the right time,” said Dennis Schembri, President of Kernaghan Adjusters. “He is a natural leader, a highly respected technical expert, and someone I trust implicitly. He is the ideal candidate for this new role, and I have every confidence that his presence will significantly strengthen our Eastern Canada operations and bring meaningful value to both our clients and our team.”

Senior Adjuster – Toronto
KA also welcomes Natalie Barrow as a Senior Adjuster based in Toronto. Natalie brings over 15 years of experience in the claims and insurance industry, with a strong specialization in commercial general liability and complex liability matters. Her background includes handling bodily injury, product liability, municipal and occupier’s liability claims, as well as providing litigation and mediation support. Natalie’s practical, client-focused approach is enhanced by her experience in senior risk management roles.

“Natalie’s depth of liability expertise and her ability to manage complex, high-exposure files make her a tremendous addition to our Toronto team,” said Schembri. “She brings exactly the level of experience and professionalism our clients expect.”





New Ottawa Branch
Finally, Kernaghan Adjusters is proud to announce the opening of a new Ottawa branch, supported by the hiring of Sharon Griffith as Senior Adjuster.

Sharon offers a unique hybrid background in law and claims adjusting, holding a Bachelor of Laws (Upper Second Class Honours) and a Certificate of Legal Education.

Her career includes providing legal opinions on contentious insurance claims and participating in catastrophe response and large-scale loss management. Sharon now handles property, marine, and liability claims, bringing strong analytical, investigative, and communication skills to her role.

“We are extremely excited to bring Sharon on board and to establish a physical presence in the Ottawa market” said Schembri. “Her legal background and claims experience add a unique dimension to our team, and we anticipate continued growth in the region as we expand services to better support our clients.”

These appointments reflect KA’s continued investment in senior talent, regional leadership, and client service excellence. As the firm enters 2026, it remains focused on delivering high-quality claims handling, responsive service, and trusted expertise across Canada.
