Executive of the Month: Manny Rios, American Modern Insurance Group

You’ve been in the insurance business for nearly 30 years now, in several leadership roles. What is it that makes heading up American Modern an attractive challenge for you, following your accomplishments at USAA?

It’s an attractive challenge because I have the opportunity to lead a company that has a long tradition of success to “the next level” as part of Munich Re’s U.S. insurance operations. I know from my personal experiences that there isn’t a successful company on the planet that doesn’t have opportunities for improvement, and that’s what excites me. I think my experiences at USAA and other companies will allow me to work with other dedicated employees at American Modern to foster an environment that will allow us to become a multibillion-dollar company in the next 10-13 years.
