The Business: Our client is an award-winning independent insurance broker with the scale and insurer relationships to compete with the largest national firms. Independence is central to their identity. This is not a business waiting to be sold to a consolidator. Their long-term independence is secured, providing genuine stability for clients and employees alike. The Opportunity: Most Account Executive roles talk about building a book.
