Niko Matic is a senior commercial auto underwriter at Risk Placement Services (RPS) and being honoured as one of IBA’s Top Specialist Brokers of 2025 is testament to his stellar accomplishments.
Matic revels in the trucking sector as it’s a particularly dynamic market, with different challenges arising continuously.
“It changes daily. No risk is the same and we must work every file from scratch like a puzzle,” he says. “The social aspect of my job is the most rewarding; I enjoy building relationships with carriers and retail agents.”
Being able to foster strong partnerships enables Matic to stand out in the industry. He is proactive in building trust, facilitating collaboration and ensuring all parties are aligned towards achieving common goals.
Matic explains, “My approach to my role, and my career overall, is centered on delivering consistent results and effective solutions for our clients. I believe that regardless of how busy we may be or the personal challenges we face, our clients prioritize outcomes. I am committed to maintaining a high level of professionalism and reliability to meet their expectations.”
Time management is something Matic prioritises due to the varying demands of being in a leadership position. To address this, he relies on and supports his team to assist with communication and ensuring an equitable workload distribution.
“This collaborative approach not only enhances efficiency but also ensures that we maintain high standards of responsiveness and service.”
When delivering for retail agents and clients, Matic ensures he provides strong quotes that offer quality coverage and are built around competitiveness, comprehensive protection, and meeting the diverse needs of clients effectively.
“I actively listen to their priorities, particularly focusing on their concerns regarding pricing and coverage. By aligning our solutions with these key areas, I ensure that we meet their specific needs and expectations effectively," he says.
