We are proud to celebrate Dylan Kelly, who is celebrating 10 years at Axis/PL Risk with our February Spotlight.
Dylan began working for Axis in 2015, after graduating from Kings college with a degree in management working as an account manager. As an entry level associate, Dylan was exposed to all areas of the insurance process including sales, account management, and marketing research. Shortly after joining the company, our wholesale division, PLRisk, was formed and he became one of the first internal brokers to join that division. Dylan, at the time, was local to our New Jersey office and was able to gain valuable skills working hand in hand with the staff, learning all that needed to be learned for a successful career. He worked on some of the company’s largest accounts and developed a niche in insurance agents and brokers E&O and cyber insurance working with other producers. Dylan moved over to our wholesale division, PLRisk. In 2017, he became a full-time broker managing his own book as an internal broker and developing his own book of business. He later moved to Tennessee where he resides now.
Since that time Dylan has worked on assisting some of our larger retailers with their most complicated accounts. He has been classified as a million-dollar producer several times for his production. He specializes among other things in merger and acquisition transactions, having landed several of the company’s largest and most complicated transaction-based policies. His keen ability to find solutions often ignored by other more seasoned producers puts him in a league of his own.
Mike Smith, President and CEO of PLRisk said, “Dylan was referred to us by one of our underwriters and that always has risks. He is truly a unique find among the insurance industry and a credit to our company. Our team is our greatest asset, and Dylan adds an element to our company that is a credit to him and the industry.”
In one large transaction that involved multiple companies and several countries, Dylan provided a solution through the use of many markets that earned him the reputation of an M&A broker and garnered the respect of his peers. When asked about his time at PL Risk, Dylan had this to say. “It has been an honor to be a part of such an amazing team at PLRisk for the past 10 years. It has been a deeply rewarding experience, and I am so excited to see what we will achieve together in the future. “
Dylan is a member of PLUS, the Professional Liability Underwriters Society and the Insurors of Tennessee. He is an avid fitness buff and enjoys nature and the great outdoors. He currently lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee with his wife and as of this writing he is expecting his first child.
