Chairman, president and CEO
H.W. KAUFMAN FINANCIAL GROUP AND BURNS & WILCOX
Under Alan
Kaufman’s leadership,
Kaufman Financial Group and its portfolio of companies achieved double-digit growth and more than $1.8 billion in revenue in 2015.
Kaufman supports a number of civic, community and business organizations, in addition to establishing the
Kaufman Family Foundation and the Herbert W.
Kaufman Memorial Scholarship through NAPSLO. Earlier this year,
Kaufman set up a major endowment within the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State University, his alma mater, to provide academic leadership in insurance. He also initiated the company’s first major sports sponsorship of 2016 PGA Champion golfer Jimmy Walker, which has given
Kaufman subsidiary Burns & Wilcox a tremendous amount of brand exposure.
