13 Assurex Global Partner Firm Employees Named 2023 Power Brokers

Assurex Global is thrilled to announce that 13 employees from its Partner Firms have been named 2023 Power Brokers by Risk & Insurance, an annual award recognizing outstanding risk management and customer service in the brokerage community.

Risk & Insurance selects four to six winners from 30 industry categories, including, but not limited to, cyber, education, employee benefits, health care, hospitality, transportation, technology, specialty, and construction. 

Winners are selected based on the strength of client testimonials submitted to Risk & Insurance editors and writers, according to the magazine. “When the client thinks it can’t be done, that’s just when a Power Broker makes it happen,” the magazine noted in its 2023 publication. 

“Assurex Global Partner Firms overall must meet stringent selection standards, and they can’t accomplish that level of excellence without a strong workforce and standout brokers,” said Dean Hildebrandt, President & CEO of Assurex Global. “We congratulate these 13 brokers on their achievements and success at their respective Partner Firms.”
