Feb 24 - (The Insurer) - Risk Strategies has hired Craig Simon, formerly president of Symphony Energy at Symphony Risk Solutions, as managing director of its national private equity practice.
Simon has over 30 years of experience in the industry. Before Symphony, Simon was a team leader for U.S. energy and power at Marsh.
He also served as senior managing director at Crystal & Company, now part of Alliant, for more than 15 years, overseeing the firm’s liability insurance placement and broking operations. Other previous roles include national casualty practice leader for Willis North America and senior vice president at Aon.
In his new role, Simon will be responsible for broking, servicing and program administration for clients in the private equity sector.
“Bringing (Simon) on board is a real win for this practice,” said Neil Krauter, national private equity practice leader at Risk Strategies. “His reputation as both an industry expert and team leader are well deserved, and we are excited to see the difference he will make for our clients and our business.”
In September 2024, Risk Strategies appointed Tom Panos as managing director of its Chicago office.
