Account executive
Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services Inc.
Age: 30
At only 30 years old, Morgan Moore leads the marketing efforts for Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services Inc.'s energy practice group.
Based in Houston, she worked closely with Gallagher's national energy team and senior management to produce new marketing materials for all of its energy offices to use. She also is collaborating on the development of a new energy-specific website for the Itasca, Ill.-based insurance brokerage.
Ms. Moore joined Gallagher's energy practice group as an account executive in 2008, after working as an underwriter of major international energy risks for offshore and onshore businesses at American International Group Inc. in New York and Houston, where she managed a complex book of business in excess of $34 million in bound premium.
Her greatest strength is being able to design creative primary casualty program structures and negotiating the most favorable terms and conditions for her clients, said Rick Heidt, vice president and controller at Puffer-Sweiven, a manufacturing representative of process control equipment in Houston.
“She is very knowledgeable and energetic and knows how to take care of her customers,” said Mr. Heidt, who has used Ms. Moore to place all of the company's commercial insurance for the past five years.
“I love problem-solving. I think that's what a lot of our business is. I believe that what we do helps people, that ultimately our products protect our clients,” Ms. Moore said. “I'm also a good negotiator and very organized. That's imperative in this job. You have a lot of balls in the air all the time.”
Originally from Midland, Texas, Ms. Moore grew up in the insurance business. Her father started an agency, InWest Group Inc., which Gallagher acquired in 2001.
