Patrick G. Ryan, Founder, Chairman and CEO of RSG, commented, “When Mike joined RSG in 2010, he committed to stay two possibly three years at the longest. Periodically over the last eleven years, I asked Mike to defer his retirement, and each time he selflessly agreed.

Mike has cultivated the RSGUM business from a start-up to one of the world’s largest collection of managing general underwriters with revenues in excess of $160m. In addition to serving as Chairman and CEO of RSGUM, Mike has served as a member of the Board of Directors of Ryan Specialty Group.

I am truly grateful.”
