Senior vice president
National Financial Partners Corp.
Age: 36
Harris Tsangaris was an underwriter at Zurich Insurance Group Ltd. when a broker asked him, “Why don't you come over to the brokerage side?” Mr. Tsangaris said.
After a stint with another broker, he joined New York-based National Financial Partners Corp. in 2007.
At NFP, Mr. Tsangaris specializes in management liability insurance.
This includes directors and officers liability insurance, employment practices liability, errors and omissions, crime, fiduciary, network security, data breach, and kidnap and ransom insurance.
“Harris has professional acumen and judgment beyond his years,” said Douglas Hammond, CEO of NFP. “He is as sharp as they come when clients with complex risk management issues need sensible, commercially reasonable solutions. He is highly ethical, respected by his peers and always a pleasure to work with.”
One of Mr. Tsangaris' professional strengths is his commitment to customer service.
“I'd like to give my clients the best possible service, as well as giving the best coverage terms and conditions as possible at competitive pricing,” Mr. Tsangaris said. “My personal goal is to continue to grow in the business and continue to learn more every day in regard to these lines of business.”
That commitment also presents him with his biggest professional challenge.
“My biggest professional challenge is that being such a service-oriented business, you're always focused on providing the top-notch service to your clients,” Mr. Tsangaris said. “Time is the biggest challenge — keeping up with educational seminars is a big point.”
