CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As the insurance industry finds itself under fire from challenger brands looking to disrupt the sector, established market leaders need a new breed of digitally-savvy, growth-focused senior executives to protect their position.

A new talent sourcing company is on a mission to make sure that happens sooner rather than later: introducing Brown Davis – a boutique executive search and consulting firm dedicated to ensuring up and coming senior talent enters the insurance industry to bolster its continued growth.

A Proven Professional Partnership
The combined challenges of an aging sector workforce, a lack of diversity, and increasingly digitized services catalyzed founders Shawn Davis (a former insurance executive) and Mike Brown (a well-established executive recruiter) into action.

"There's a growing disparity between the skills that insurance companies need and the type of employees being hired," says Brown. "Brown Davis was born out of a shared desire to turn these issues into opportunities for emerging talent."

"Companies need change agents willing to appreciate the past and embrace the future in order to thrive" says Davis. "The skills that senior executives need to excel in the insurance sector are changing. Digital savviness, customer acquisition and experience, data analysis, multi-generational people management, and the ability to drive complex enterprise-wide initiatives are in huge demand."

Trusted Talent Access
To keep pace with tech-driven challenger businesses, established insurers have a genuine need for a talent partner that's able to source candidates with the right amount of sector knowledge and the drive to challenge boundaries.

Brown Davis will be working closely with its clients in a retained capacity on critical positions – from C-suite to mid-level executive leaders. Interim executive placement will be offered to clients when an on-demand talent need exists – with highly seasoned and experienced executive leaders.

The firm is also committed to nurturing candidates and aims to create a community for emerging financial services leaders. This community will be aimed at professionals with less than 15-20 years' experience, as well as those from more diverse backgrounds looking to develop the softer skills needed to help them rise through the ranks.

"Ultimately, our aim is to serve and support the entire insurance industry in a unique way," Brown explains. "We have exciting opportunities for talented individuals and insurance companies with an innovation mindset. Simply put, we can help companies source qualified executives, avoid bad hires, and costly mistakes."

We know how to move a business forward with the right talent, and believe that the value of a change agent is 10 times that of a standard employee.
