In this "Leaders & Legends" episode, Al Sica and Choice Financial Group Chairman & CEO Bob Hilb explore Bob's long and successful career in the industry and his approach to running an $80 million company in today's complex market. Bob reflects on his valuable experience growing up with industry great Robert Hilb and his early days as a producer at HRH, to his journey to starting and building The Hilb Group to a $150 million company in seven years, and his pivot to first a consultant to now CEO of Northlane-backed Choice. At Choice, a big part of being able to help their clients grow is integration. By leveraging data to identify areas of success and need, the leadership at Choice can provide real-world, experience-backed support that ensures their family of acquired businesses is getting the most value out of their partnership with Choice. Bob's philosophy is simple: take care of your clients, your people, and your investors, and the rest will fall into place.

​

Bob and Al also explore the future of the insurance M&A industry and how Choice adapts to continually shifting sands in the marketplace. Again, Bob's approach is simple: focus on building a valuable business by having strong leadership, ensuring good data integrity, and supporting employees and clients. As his father told him: Treat people the right way and it's all going to come back to you.
