When working with clients or prospects, Steve Callaway takes the time to listen to their needs and goals. Then, he designs a comprehensive risk management and insurance program that compliments the client’s objectives.
Callaway’s training as a CPA enables him to analyze complex financial data and summarize this information to create and quantify a risk management solution.
He has been in the insurance industry for nearly 40 years, during which he supported and serviced commercial clients ranging from five to 2,000 employees. Callaway works primarily with the executive leadership of his clients. This could be the owners, the Board of Directors, the CFO, and the controller. His CPCU designation enables him to negotiate with underwriters for the best possible outcome for his clients.
After joining Acrisure in 2017, he continued to operate the agency with a focus on organic growth. In 2023, he and his team were active in organizing the Acrisure West platform. Today, he serves as the growth and practice leader of the entrepreneur team, where the producers focus on medium to large commercial property and casualty opportunities.
As a member of the platform advisory board, Callaway aims to ensure the efficiency of the placement of Acrisure’s wholesale business.
