IBA’s Young Guns recognizes young professionals who are energizing and revitalizing the insurance industry. According to IBA, “The average American insurance professional is 59 years old, and these impressive young men and women aged 35 years and younger have proven to be emerging leaders who are quickly rising into influential roles and making a significant impact in the insurance industry.”
“We are pleased and proud that Wilson and Zohreh have been included in this list of exceptional young professionals who are changing the face of our industry,” said John Hahn, CEO of EPIC. “They are bright, capable, hard-working and extremely committed individuals who ‘lead by example’ both inside and outside of EPIC.”
