John Keegan
Amwins Brokerage of New Jersey

During his 42-year career, John Keegan has left an indelible mark on the insurance industry, including mentoring industry leaders in the underwriting community, as well as retail and wholesale brokers. Keegan joined Amwins in 2004 as part of the Property Risk Services (PRS) acquisition and was integral early in Amwins’ genesis, forming a small team that built PRS into a premier wholesale broker servicing second- and third-tier brokers with superior marketing relationships and consultation. As PRS president, Keegan was instrumental in growing the company into a model of the current wholesale brokerage landscape with strong marketing ability, unparalleled carrier relationships and a full range of services, including due diligence, claims advocacy and tailored manuscript forms. 

During his career, Keegan has served as senior vice president of major accounts for Home Insurance Company in Philadelphia and New York City and as senior vice president and property manager for New York City and most of the East Coast for Aon, where he was eventually promoted to property practice leader. He also worked for Napco, a spinoff of TriCity brokerage, where he serviced some of the nation’s largest clients before being promoted to president of the company. 

Keegan remains active in the East Coast brokerage and underwriting community through organizations such as the Insurance Brokers’ Association of the State of New York and the Inland Marine Underwriters Association. Outside of the industry, he is involved with Wounded Warriors.
