Koontz has been in the marine insurance business for more than 20 years. Her experience began with a position as a yacht underwriter for INAMAR; after five years, she took over the company’s commercial book of business as a wholesale broker.
During more than 16 years as a commercial ocean marine broker for Arrowhead General Insurance Agency and Trafalgar Insurance Agency, Koontz solely managed commercial books of business from placement to servicing – forming strong relationships with brokers and carriers across the country.
“I plan to continue servicing my past relationships and to bring many of them to Worldwide Facilities,” says Koontz. “I am so excited to be part of their marine team and look forward to a successful future.”
“Leah has strong carrier relationships and a current following of retailers,” adds Robert K. Riske, Senior Vice President at Worldwide Facilities. “We look to enhance our standing with those underwriters by bringing Leah onto our team.”
