EXCELLENCE AWARDEE: YOUNG GUN OF THE YEAR – INDEPENDENT (20+ STAFF)
FEATURED EXCELLENCE AWARDEE
I co-founded Shielded Insurance Brokers with my 2 business partners in 2016. Since Shielded’s inception we have grown from a team of 3 to over 50 staff and expanded to 2 locations.
I work with my co-founders to implement strategy and leverage technology to supercharge the efficiency of an insurance brokerage. Streamlining internal procedures and identifying niche market spaces has yielded our company 100% growth rates in our earlier years as a smaller company, and 40% growth in our more recent years as a larger business.
Seeing Shielded Insurance Brokers as a finalist in the Top Brokerage award in the last 3 years, alongside myself being nominated for Young Gun the last 2 years is a testament to the hard work we have put in. Alongside many of my peers whom have also been nominated for an array of accomplishments. It has been a challenging yet rewarding journey to grow a powerful brand in a competitive insurance space, navigating the everchanging landscape of insurers & underwriters and adapting to industry reform has been some of the challenges – however, seeing the progress of our 50 strong team makes it all worth it.
