The United States boasts some of the strongest specialist brokers in the world. In this period of unprecedented change - driven by macro events like climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, economic inflation, supply chain disruptions, and international conflict – it takes specialist brokers to supply state-of-the-art solutions for complex risks.
Now, Insurance Business America is delighted to celebrate the best of the best in the sixth annual Top Specialist Brokers list, which features 33 trailblazing brokers from across the US.
To determine the country’s Top Specialist Brokers, Insurance Business America invited insurance professionals from across the country to nominate exceptional specialist wholesale brokers, who possess unique insights and highly developed skill sets tailored to their particular specialty, which they use to help retail agents and their clients secure the best coverage possible.
Nominators were asked to describe their nominee’s standout professional achievements over the past 12 months, along with their contributions to the financial success of clients and business partners in 2021. To narrow down the list to the final 33 Top Specialist Brokers, the IBA team reviewed all nominations, examining how each individual had made a meaningful contribution to the industry.
