Rikki Concannon is an area vice president at Risk Placement Services (RPS), focusing on the crane, rigging and scaffolding markets.
With over a decade of experience in the insurance industry, she has been recognized as one of IBA’s Top Specialist Brokers 2025.
“My career has been a journey of embracing new challenges and seizing opportunities that align with my evolving interests and skills.”
Concannon’s ability to accurately assess situations equips her with a market advantage to understand the best solutions for a given client.
“I've developed a strategy that involves direct communication with brokers right from the initial submission,” she explains. “By having conversations with brokers, I can gather important information about the opportunity and assess its potential. I ask targeted questions about the client, their specific needs, and the scope of the project to see if it aligns with our capabilities and strategic goals.”
As the leader of a strong team, Concannon’s working ethos is entrepreneurial, hardworking, and collaborative.
She comments, “This culture of mutual support and collaboration not only boosts our performance but also creates a positive and resilient work environment. Being part of such a dynamic team and witnessing their growth and achievements has been immensely rewarding.”
Concannon’s specialty success in the crane and scaffold space is the product of a proactive approach, staying informed, and an awareness of niche markets and varying coverage forms.
“We collaborate with top-tier, construction-focused brokers who specialize in risk management and service, ensuring that our clients receive expert advice and tailored solutions that meet their specific needs,” says Concannon. “This approach not only helps us attract clients who value quality and expertise but also plays a vital role in retaining them by consistently delivering exceptional service and results.”
