Insurance Strategy Executive Search

OUR CLIENT'S NEED: To find a well-connected insurance executive who could create strategies to accelerate the company’s market presence in the environmental and pollution insurance sector.  Due to increased market demand, they also needed this individual to have the skills to create internal best practices and procedures to better service their clients.  

THEIR SEARCH CHALLENGES:  Finding the right person who was open to making the leap from the traditional insurance world to an extremely specialized insurance space was no easy task.  The executive needed to also have a strong reputation and be able to train other executives on insurance practices. Oh, and they needed to fit in with the company culture too.
