Many of CCIG’s team members came from big brokers because they wanted to deliver a better, more personalized client experience, and that’s exactly what I’ve seen. They ask the right questions to understand your opportunities and risks and then work alongside you to create a risk management plan that sets the foundation for a strong future."
