Hub International Ltd., a Chicago-headquartered global insurance brokerage and financial services firm, has hired Blake Giannisis as North American property practice leader.
In his new role, Giannisis will lead the further development of the company’s property insurance practice, manage key market and wholesale partner relationships, and provide innovative solutions for the large and complex needs of clients.
Giannisis most recently served as national property broking officer at Aon. Earlier in his career, he was senior vice president at Wells Fargo Insurances services.
“Organizations today are experiencing unprecedented increases in CAT risk exposures on both a traditional and non-modeled basis, challenges to property valuations due to record inflation, and overall rate increase fatigue in the property market,” said Giannisis. “My focus is to build and expand creative insurance solutions and services that complement Hub’s property experts throughout North America – going beyond traditional risk transfer to addressing risk mitigation and more for clients.”
