Risk Strategies has named president John Mina as the firm’s new CEO, succeeding Michael Christian.
Christian, who founded Risk Strategies in 1997 and long-time CEO, will move into the executive chairman role.
Working in the insurance industry for 30 years, Mina joined Risk Strategies in April 2017 from Willis Towers Watson.
As CEO, Mina will be responsible for setting the strategic direction of the company and working as a senior advisor to the leadership team while managing the day-to-day operations. In addition, he will support the needs of clients, employees, investors and trading partners.
Christian said: “I’m excited for John Mina to assume this new role. Since joining the company, he has quickly demonstrated he has the right vision, skillset and experience to ensure the firm’s continued success as we move into our next chapter as a leading national brokerage firm.”
Mina added: “Michael Christian’s original vision for Risk Strategies has clearly met its moment. Clients today require advice as well as policy placement. They look to their broker for focused, expert insight that removes uncertainty and reduces their overall cost of risk. With the right vision and core team in place, I’m excited to lead the firm into a dynamic future.”
