The Kaufman Financial Group says Denis Brady has been hired as President of Burns & Wilcox Brokerage, an independent business unit that will be solely dedicated to wholesale insurance brokerage.
Brady joins Burns & Wilcox Brokerage from RT Specialty, where he served as President-San Francisco. From 1998-2011, Brady was the president of American E&S, a subsidiary of Wells Fargo Group.
"Bringing Denis on board sends a bold message about our commitment to brokerage with a highly focused and dedicated team,” said Kaufman Financial Group Chairman, President and CEO Alan Jay Kaufman. “Burns & Wilcox Brokerage will continue to leverage the global reach of the Burns & Wilcox legacy organization and Kaufman Financial Group companies, delivering seamless access to global market centers.”
Brady will be responsible for building upon the company’s existing brokerage team with enhanced expertise and market alignment. The team will also deliver a deeper offering of products and services, creating risk solutions for retail brokers and agents who manage a range of accounts, from start-ups to Fortune clients.
“I have been given a rare 'game-changing' opportunity to lead Burns & Wilcox Brokerage with the full investment of the Kaufman Financial Group and support of the executive team,” Brady said. “We will capitalize on the tradition of excellence, integrity and service that Burns & Wilcox has established and expand the existing team of respected placement specialists.”
Brady will continue to be based in San Francisco, working alongside the leadership of the Burns & Wilcox San Francisco office. He will report directly to Kaufman.
