“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”
Kelvin Rampersad,
Carte Wealth Management
David Ragno is the CEO of Keyes Coverage, an insurance and risk management solutions provider in South Florida. Fifteen years ago, he started out at Travelers Insurance in Hartford.
“When my career started, I had a clearly defined trajectory coming out of a prestigious development program with a Fortune 100 company, Travelers,” he says. “In 2013, I decided to get more well-rounded and took a chance on myself, joining a locally owned commercial insurance agency. From there, I learned all aspects of the business to eventually take it over as the leader. It was a mix of plan and opportunity.”
He considers the following to be his biggest achievements:
getting his Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) designation
acquiring a master’s degree in insurance management from Boston University
winning a top workplace award last year
building an exclusive substance abuse treatment facility product countrywide
Currently, as CEO, Ragno must deal with the impact of the challenging property market and the pressure it puts on staff and clients to find a solution. But he’s confident in his ability to engage staff and clients – he’s been in both of their places – and this gives him the perspective to help meet goals.
What’s his approach and attitude toward his job? “I try and live every day in gratitude, for the opportunities I’ve been granted as well as to the people who have shown me the way,” he says. “This has led me to want to give back my time to help train, develop, and mentor the next generation of insurance professionals.”
