In 2000, Sean Smith took over as president and CEO at Keenan & Associates, succeeding the company’s founder and chairman, John Keenan. Under Smith’s leadership, the company has reported steady organic growth; Smith is now leading Keenan to expand outside of California since becoming part of AssuredPartners earlier this year.
Keenan provides public agency expertise and is the West Coast hub for AssuredPartners. Smith serves on the AssuredPartners board and consistently works to expand Keenan’s core culture of giving back, including company-wide service days and middle-school mentoring programs, along with Everyday Kindness, a kindness tracking system that promotes positive change in California schools.
