Ricky Spiro (CEO of Hilb Group)
On this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with the CEO of one of the largest and fastest growing insurance agencies in the United States. That man is Ricky Spiro, and he is the CEO of the Hilb Group.
For 2021, Insurance Journal lists the Hilb Group at #13 on the list of largest insurance agencies in the US with more than $260M in P&C revenue. As of July, they’ve completed more than 100 acquisitions and they have more than 100 offices, with more than 1500 employees, in 21 states.
Ricky graduated from Princeton University and began his career at the First Boston Corporation. Ricky was an investment banker specializing in advising the insurance industry on mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings and equity and debt financings. He went on to be the Executive Vice President and CFO of Chubb before joining Hilb.
