I believe my age, experience and education all contributed to the attraction by the PE firm. I took the leap because it made sense. No matter how much premium I put on the books while employed at the other brokerage firm, I was never going to be the broker that I believe I am capable of becoming, and I will never have the creative opportunity to drive business in this market the way that I believe it should be driven. I took the leap because there were a limited number of potential landing zones…a.) it goes very well and life is great or b.) it goes poorly and now I’m forced to go back and work at another insurance firm in which I am able to do so as a result of my experience and education. In my mind it was a win-win. There’s a chapter in one of my favorite books, Never Eat Alone, and the chapter is titled “The Genius of Audacity.” I’ve learned early on that the worst case scenario is often times staying where you are “now.” |

I managed a 35+ million dollar division for a privately held excess and surplus lines broker. Then I was approached by a private equity firm and they asked that I help them create a nuanced wholesaler that embodied service and expertise and that’s how I came up with Hybrid Insurance Group.
