Allied North America grew exponentially under his thoughtful leadership and seasoned decision-making. He continually pushed his employees to seize the opportunity and stay on the cutting edge of technology, risk analysis, and evolving customer needs. Subsequently, his company was ranked in 2009 by Insurance Journal as the fifth largest private insurance brokerage in the nation.
