Acrisure LLC said Wednesday it will collaborate with Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Ciara, to form Evolution Advisors LLC, a joint venture to focus on the insurance needs of minority-owned businesses.
Mr. Wilson, who led the Seahawks to victory in Super Bowl XLVIII, and Ciara are founding partners and equity owners in the joint venture and will help “guide the business and its community impact strategies,” according to a statement.
The venture will focus on providing minority-owned enterprises, including Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certified businesses, with greater access to insurance products.
“There is no more important mission than investing in and supporting businesses that promote equality,” Thomas Tull, chairman of Acrisure Technology Group, said in the statement.
Beach & Associates Ltd., a unit of Acrisure LLC, has acquired Risk and Insurance Consulting Services, an Atlanta-based accident and health reinsurance brokerage, Beach said in a statement Tuesday.
