AssuredPartners Announces New Corporate Risk Officer

National Broker Names Thomas Kozera to National Role

LAKE MARY, FL – December 10, 2020 – AssuredPartners, Inc., one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing insurance brokers, has promoted Thomas R. Kozera to Corporate Risk Officer and Executive Vice President, where he will serve as the senior risk and insurance advisor to AssuredPartners and its subsidiaries, while continuing to provide the same stellar risk and insurance advice to the clients he has faithfully served for many years. Tom will remain in his regional president responsibilities through June 30, 2021, when the transition to his new role will be official. In the next several days, AssuredPartners will announce the successor to Mr. Kozera as the northeast Regional President. 

Tom joined AssuredPartners in 2011 as part of the SKCG Group acquisition – a critical early partnership that helped launch AssuredPartners as a national insurance broker. In the years prior, Tom and his partners had built SKCG Group into one of the premier insurance and risk consulting firms in the northeast.

Since 2011, Tom Kozera has been instrumental in the success of AssuredPartners. In addition to leading the northeast region as it grew from $18 million in revenue in 2011 to over $200 million in revenue today, Mr. Kozera consistently ranks as one of AssuredPartners’ most successful and productive sales executives. Current President and COO, Tom Riley remarked: “Tom is one of the great leaders and insurance technicians in our industry – a rare combination. We are grateful for his leadership as a founding agency partner, regional president and insurance expert over these last nine years, and we look forward to engaging with Tom on his new responsibilities which will be of great value to our growing organization.” Chairman and CEO, Jim Henderson, added: “Of Tom’s many contributions to AssuredPartners, establishing and leading the Regional Leaders Group is one of the most significant. As our company grew by leaps and bounds through acquisition, the Regional Leaders Group, headed by Tom Kozera, became a platform for sharing best practices, implementing operational imperatives, and developing a culture and identity as one organization. We are thrilled to now have Tom more fully engaged at the national and corporate levels, where we will continue to expect exceptional outcomes from his leadership and expertise.”
