Area assistant vice president
RISK PLACEMENT SERVICES
Age: 30
In the four years that Russ Stein has been with Risk Placement Services, he has already had a significant impact on production in the Southern California office. Two years ago, Stein took it upon himself to develop a book of business in oil & gas, learning the technical aspects of the industry, building relationships with retail agencies and identifying the leading carriers in the business. In less than two years, he has gone from zero premium written to more than $10 million. In addition to his oil & gas focus, Stein works on a complex casualty team that, under his leadership, has grown at an average of 12% year over year for the past four years. Outside of his production responsibilities, Stein is actively involved with early talent development and is currently training two individuals.
