“No matter how many clients I have, I make sure to call each one personally every quarter. It’s a chance to not only update them on their portfolio, but also check on how they’re doing personally”

“I am so fortunate. I have a career, a mission, a team and an organization I absolutely love,” says Amy Lugar, a senior vice president of people strategy for HUB International. She is responsible for human resources strategic initiatives across the south and central regions of the US.
Lugar began her career in human resources in 2003 and enjoyed working with some amazing organizations and people until she found her “forever company” in 2011 when she joined HUB International. She found that the insurance industry, team members, and clients are like no other and it has been the most rewarding work of her career.
In her current role, she has the privilege of leading a dynamic team of 35 talented HR and business professionals. Together, this team supports 3,500 employees across the United States and Puerto Rico.
Through her 13-year career at HUB, Lugar has experienced steady growth and expansion of her influence and responsibility, which has given her an incredible opportunity to make a positive impact and address unique challenges in the business, as well as foster growth and guide others as they navigate their professional journeys.
Beyond her professional responsibilities, she is passionate about empowering others through volunteer work at HUB International. For the past six years, she has proudly served as a member and co-chair in 2024 of the leadership team for HUB’s first employee resource group, HUB Women Network. This initiative has been a deeply fulfilling experience, offering employees across the US and Canada a platform to connect, learn, and grow together. The network bridges gaps between employees at all levels of the company, providing access to mentorship and insights employees might not otherwise encounter.
Lugar received her BA in Psychology from Winthrop University and her MS in Industrial Organizational Psychology from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. She is from Summerville, SC, where she currently resides with her husband, Ray, and a menagerie of animals, including their beloved pomsky, Sugarbear.
Lugar’s journey is marked by passion, growth, and commitment to fostering connections and opportunities for employees in the workplace. Her story reflects not just professional success but a dedication to making a difference both at work and beyond.
