And that’s a wrap!
A vintage year for the Insurance Insider US Honors 2024 saw Bowhead Specialty CEO Stephen Sills and NFP CEO Doug Hammond win two of the top industry awards at the ceremony on September 19 at 583 Park Avenue in New York.
The Insurance Insider US awards celebrate outstanding achievement and exceptional talent from the US wholesale, specialty and (re)insurance markets, with awards in 31 categories handed out after judges parsed more than 120 entries.
In company categories, Beazley took home the (Re)Insurer of the Year award, while Acrisure was named Retail Broker of the Year, and RT Specialty took home the award for Wholesale Broker of the Year.
This year’s honors ceremony included over 500 attendees, gathered to celebrate the industry’s finest talent.
